Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regulatory genes produce products such as transcription factors or repressors, which bind to specific nucleotide sequences and either enhance or inhibit transcription of nearby genes. This interaction can also affect translation by either promoting or impeding the binding of ribosomes to mRNA. Constitutive genes and structural genes do not have a direct role in regulating gene expression.
