    A)                 co-repressor binds with repressor          

    B)                 co-repressor does not bind with repressor

    C)                 co-repressor binds with inducer               

    D)                 c-AMP has negative effect on lac operon

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    In case of a repressible operon, the free repressor cannot bind to the operator. Only repressor- corepressor complex binds with the operator. Since the product of the regulator (the repressor) acts by shutting off the transcription of structural genes, it is referred to as a negative control system.
