Multiple Choice
How does the inducer change the repressor's affinity for DNA?
A) Inducer binding changes the repressor's shape so that the promoter is bent from a rectangular to a loop-like shape.
B) Inducer binding changes the repressor's shape to alter the positioning of the repressor's DNA-binding domains so they no longer interact with DNA.
C) Inducer binding makes the repressor's DNA-binding domains more positively charged,so they can no longer bind the operator.
D) Inducer binding makes the repressor's DNA-binding domains more negatively charged,so they can no longer bind the operator.
