Suggest the mechanism by which operons control transcription.
In order for DNA to initiate the formation of RNA for subsequent translation, it must first unite with an RNA polymerase. The site for RNA polymerase attachment on the DNA is called the promoter. The operator lies within the promoter region (or overlaps it) so that attachment of the RNA polymerase is blocked when the repressor is present. In the presence of an inducer (lactate or a closely
