Question

Contrast the role of the repressor in an inducible system and in a repressible system. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. ResetHelp an inducible system a repressible system 1. In , the repressor that normally interacts with the operator to inhibit transcription is inactivated by an inducer, thus permitting transcription. 2. In , a normally inactive repressor is activated by a corepressor, thus enabling it (the activated repressor) to bind to the operator to inhibit transcription.

Answer 1

1. In an inducible system, the repressor that normally interacts with the operator to inhibit transcription is inactivated by an inducer, thus permitting transcription.

2. In a repressible system, a normally inactive repressor is activated by a corepressor, thus enabling it (the activated repressor) to bind to the operator to inhibit transcription.

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between an induceable system a repressible system is state of transcription before induction or repression.

If a there no transcription to start with, it must be induced so it is regulated by induction.

If there is continuous transcription to start with it is regulated by repression.
