What is the function of the repressor in the E. coli lac operon?
O A repressor is a type of DNA sequence which activates or inactivates the expression of the lac operon genes by acting as a protein binding site. O A repressor is a type of protein that inactivates the expression of the lac operon genes by binding to the DNA of the lac operon. O A repressor is a type of DNA sequence that is located outside the lac operon and expresses the protein that controls lactose gene expression. O A repressor is a type of DNA sequence that activates the expression of the lactose genes by acting as an RNA polymerase binding site for the lac operon.
