- A Positive regulation mainly, requiring little repressor protein activity
- B Negative regulation (lac repressor) with positive control (CAP-cAMP)
- C Constitutive expression occurring regardless of lactose
- D Eukaryotic gene regulation involving chromatin remodeling
Correct answer: B. Negative regulation (lac repressor) with positive control (CAP-cAMP)
Explanation: Lac operon: repressed by lac repressor (no lactose). When lactose present, repressor removed (negative control). Optimally expressed when glucose absent (positive CAP control).
