In the bacteriophage $\lambda$,the cI gene encodes the $\lambda$ repressor,which:
A)represses lytic growth and promotes lysogeny.
B)represses lysogeny and permits lytic growth.
C)represses both lytic growth and lysogeny.
D)promotes lytic growth.
E)None of the answer options are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cI gene in the bacteriophage F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 encodes the F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 repressor, which is responsible for repressing lytic growth and promoting lysogeny. Therefore, option A is the best choice as it accurately describes the role of the F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 repressor. Option B is not correct as it suggests that the repressor promotes lytic growth, which is the opposite of its function. Option C is also incorrect as it suggests the repressor inhibits both lytic growth and lysogeny, whereas it only inhibits lytic growth. Option D is not correct as the repressor does not promote lytic growth.
