Chapter 18: Gene Regulations and Genetic Engineering

GENETICS/Protein Synthesis/Gene regulation/screen 3

An inducible enzyme is a useful adaptation because:

a) the messenger RNA for the enzyme will only be transcribed if the enzyme's substrate binds with the operon's repressor.

b) it's product prevents too much of the enzyme from being produced by binding with and activating the repressor of the operon.

Answer

A repressible enzyme is a useful adaptation because:

a) the messenger RNA for the enzyme will only be transcribed if the enzyme's substrate binds with operons' repressor.

b) it's product prevents too much of the enzyme's messenger RNA from being produced by binding with and activating the repressor of the operon.
