Question

Which of the following is the least likely mechanism for reducing the rate of gene transcription by a repressor? the repressor binds directly to the rna polymerase to block the closed-to-open transition at initiation. the repressor induces a conformational change in the polymerase that accelerates the closed-to-open transition. the binding of the repressor sterically occludes binding of the rna polymerase to the promoter?

Answer 1

The statement that contains the method reducing the rate of gene transcription by a repressor would be "the repressor binds directly to the RNA polymerase to block the closed-to-open transition at initiation." In addition, this method is significant for the copying of DNA segments.
