• A)The banding pattern on the gel is the same with and without the transcriptional regulator, therefore the protein binds the DNA fragment.
• B)Some bands on the gel are absent in the sample with the transcriptional regulator, therefore the protein does not bind the DNA fragment.
• C)Some bands on the gel are absent in the sample with the transcriptional regulator, therefore the protein binds the DNA fragment.
