QUESTION:
Describe the binding of RNA polymerase, repressors, and activators to the lac operon when both lactose and glucose are scarce. What is the effect of these scarcities on transcription of the lac operon?
ANSWER:When both lactose and glucose are scarce, RNA polymerase binds to the lac operon and transcription of the lac operon is initiated. Upon binding, it is joined by repressors that act to inhibit transcription. Activators
