Positive and negative transcriptional regulation differ in that:

A. positive regulation requires that a promoter
be present; it's not necessary in negative
regulation.
B. in positive regulation, the binding of a
regulatory protein to the DNA is necessary for
transcription to occur; in negative regulation,
no such protein is necessary.
C. in positive regulation, the binding of a
regulatory protein to the DNA is necessary for
transcription to occur; in negative regulation,
such binding prevents transcription.
D. in positive regulation, the absence of a
regulatory protein promotes transcription; in
negative regulation, the absence of a
regulatory protein promotes transcription.
E. None of these choices is correct.
