A type of mutation in the repressor results in a molecule known as a super-repressor because it represses the lac operon permanently. Which of these would characterize such a mutant?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A super-repressor mutation in the lac operon results in a repressor that cannot bind to the inducer (allolactose), meaning it remains bound to the operator and continuously represses the operon, preventing transcription regardless of lactose presence.
