Questão 6
Questão

Double helix
Questão 7
Questão
What happens at the lac operon in the absence of glucose and presence of lactose?
Questão 8
Questão
Multiple binding sites for a repressor is advantageous because:
Responda
-
There are too many repressors in cells
-
DNA must be bent to allow transcription
-
Repressors are only active when bound to many sites at once
-
This increases the effective concentration of the repressor
-
Repressors need multiple binding sites to bind ligands
