question 54

Multiple Choice

Which statement is TRUE of two separate regulators controlling one individual operon?

• B) One regulator will likely control the transcription of one section of the operon, whereas the other regulator will control the other component.
• C) One regulator will bind to the operator region whereas the other will bind to the promoter region so they can co-occur and co-regulate the operon.
