How are repressor levels maintained in the lysogenic state?

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The presence of repressor at OR2 is necessary for RNA polymerase to initiate transcription from PRM. The gene that encodes the repressor protein uses this promoter; thus, the presence of repressor stimulates the transcription of more repressor.
