The tryptophan codons of the attenuator sequence help speed up transcription of downstream trp genes at high concentrations of tryptophan

Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Explanation: These codons are readily read by trp-tRNA at high tryptophan concentrations, leading to the attenuator formation that terminates transcription.
