Match the protein binding patterns at the lac operon with the appropriate transcriptional outcomes.
-CAP bound to DNA, lac repressor not bound to DNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When CAP is bound to DNA, it enhances RNA polymerase binding and promotes transcription. When the lac repressor is not bound to DNA, it allows for the transcription of the lac operon. Therefore, when CAP is bound and the lac repressor is not bound, the lac operon is strongly transcribed.
