An operon is controlled by a repressor. When the repressor binds to a small molecule, it binds to DNA near the operon. The opero
larisa [96]

Answer:

Negatively repressible.

Explanation:

A control which occurs through repressor is known as negative control which may be inducible or repressible.

When a small molecule named as allolactose binds this repressor it leads to allosteric repulsion which removes repressor from the operator as a result of which RNA polymerase can start transcription. Allolactose is therefore known as inducer because it induces lac operon expression.

But here, the operator is active (induced) already so there is no need to induce the operon which means that it can only be repressed so that transcription could stop. So the answer is negatively repressible operon.

Why does an energy transfer not always result in phase change?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. "If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.
