What is the difference between a gene that is derepressed and one that is induced?
A. Genes that are derepressed are turned on because an inducer molecule is present. By comparison, a gene that is induced is turned on because a repressor protein is bound to the operator. B. There is no difference between a gene that is derepressed and one that is induced. C. A gene that is derepressed is turned on because a repressor protein is not bound without its cofactor. By comparison, a gene that is induced is turned on because an inducer molecule prevents binding of the repressor. D. A derepressed gene is turned off and an induced gene is activated to be expressed.
