A new operon is discovered in a bacterium. The control of this operon is affected by a protein that is
  made by another gene, and is made in an active form that binds to the DNA near the operon to prevent
  transcription. This is an example of __________ control.
  a. positive
  b. negative
  c. activational
  d. repressing
  e. inducing

Question 2

  control mechanism?
  a. stimulate transcription in the presence of a corepressor
  b. turn off transcription in the presence of an inducer
  c. stimulate transcription in the presence of a coactivator
  d. turn off transcription in the presence of a corepressor
  e. no response
