Assume a hypothetical enzyme hklase is able to break down a hypothetical sugar hklose. Assume that the synthesis of hklase is controlled by an operon.

1.Briefly explain whether you predict the operon to be an inducible or a repressible operon.
2.How would the presence of hklose effect the transcription of the genes that are involved in hklose degradation?  (For clarity - you need to address the role of hklose, the repressor, and the operator)


**Please help, I really don't understand operons because don't get what it's asking.

Inducible

hklose will not be able to inactivate the repressor so the enzymes in the desstructive operon will not be transcribed
