Which statement(s) about inducible operons is/are correct?
In an inducible operon, the repressor is synthesized in an active form.
In an inducible operon, an inducer inactivates the repressor.
Inducible enzymes generally function in synthetic pathways that produce end
products from raw materials.
In an inducible operon, the repressor is synthesized in an active form.
In an inducible operon, an inducer inactivates the repressor.
(An inducible operon is usually off but can be turned on when an inducer interacts with
and inactivates the repressor. The enzymes in an inducible operon generally function in
catabolic pathways. Read about inducible operons.)
Which statement(s) about repressible operons is/are correct?
In a repressible operon, the repressor is synthesized in an active form.
Repressible operons usually contain genes that code for anabolic enzymes.
A repressible operon is on unless a co-repressor is present.
Repressible operons usually contain genes that code for anabolic enzymes.
A repressible operon is on unless a co-repressor is present.
,(A repressible operon is usually on but can be turned off when a co-repressor interacts
with and activates the repressor. The enzymes in an inducible operon generally function
in anabolic pathways. Read about repressible operons.)
How are genes coordinately controlled in eukaryotic cells?
Coordinately controlled genes in eukaryotic cells share a set of control elements.
Coordinately controlled genes in eukaryotic cells are activated by the same
chemical signals.
Coordinately controlled genes in eukaryotic cells are located together on the
same chromosome.
Coordinately controlled genes in eukaryotic cells share a set of control elements.
Coordinately controlled genes in eukaryotic cells are activated by the same chemical
signals.
(In eukaryotes, specific transcription factors bind to control elements, promoting
transcription of coordinately controlled genes, even if the genes are on separate
chromosomes. Read about coordinately controlled genes in eukaryotes.)
The operon model of the regulation of gene expression in bacteria was proposed
by _____.
Watson and Crick
Franklin
Darwin
Jacob and Monod
Mendel
Jacob and Monod
In 1961 Jacob and Monod proposed the operon model of gene regulation.
