Want to know:
The Trp operon is a coordinately regulated group of genes (trpA-trpE) that are required for tryptophan biosynthesis in E. coli. Based on the figure above, which of the following correctly describes the regulation of the Trp operon?(A)In the absence of tryptophan, the repressor is active and binds to the Trp operator, preventing RNA polymerase from transcribing the operon.(B)In the presence of tryptophan, the repressor is active and binds to the Trp operator, preventing RNA polymerase from transcribing the operon.(C)In the absence of tryptophan, the trpR gene is inactive, preventing the production of the repressor that blocks expression of the operon.(D)In the presence of tryptophan, the trpR gene is inactive, preventing the production of the repressor that blocks expression of the operon.
