ADVERTISEMENTS:
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between induction and repression of operon.
Induction:
1. It turns the operon on.
2. It starts transcription and translations.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. It is caused by a new metabolite which needs enzymes to get metabolized.
4. It operates in a catabolic pathway.
5. Repressor is prevented by the inducer from joining the operator gene.
Repression:
1. It turns the operon off.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
2. It stops transcription and translation
3. It is caused by an excess of existing metabolite.
4. It operates in an anabolic pathway.
5. Aporepressor is enabled by a co-repressor to join the operator gene.
