What happens when lactose attaches to the repressor?

• The repressor is removed and RNA Polymerase will transcribe the genes.

• The CAP will be removed and RNA Polymerase will be blocked from transcribing.

• The lac genes will be removed as introns.

• The pre-mRNA will be edited to a mature mRNA transcript.

What is the purpose of the repressor in the operon pathway?

• promote transcription of the genes

• prevent wasting resources when the proteins are not needed

• stimulate the RNA polymerase production

• remove telomeres from the ends of the chromosome
