Listed below are characteristics of repressible and inducible enzymes.Identify each of the following as true of repressible or inducible enzymes.______ genes are switched off until a specific metabolite inactivates therepressor______ genes are switched on until a specific metabolite activates therepressor______ Generally function in anabolic pathways______ Usually function in catabolic pathways______ Pathway end product switches off its own production______ Enzyme synthesis is switched on by the nutrient in used in thepathwayMolecular Genetics Activity #7 page 8
