Define induction, and describe two general types of regulatory circuits involving induction

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: Induction means that the synthesis of polypeptides requires the addition of a specific substrate (the inducer). This may be under either negative or positive control. A negative inducible system involves the production of an active repressor that is inactivated by the inducer. A positive repressible system involves the production of an inactive activator that is activated by the inducer, which acts as a coactivator.
