When glucose is present at high levels, what happens to the rate of transcription of structural genes in the lac operon?
When glucose is present at high levels, what happens to the rate of transcription of structural genes in the lac operon?
- It decreases because glucose inhibits the production of cAMP (correct)
- It increases because glucose binds to a repressor
- It remains the same
- It decreases because glucose unwinds the chromatin structure of DNA
