Question

in prokaryotic cells, depressor proteins bind to a section to a section of DNA call a/n

Answer 1

In prokaryotic cells, repressor proteins bind to a section of DNA called the **operator**. The operator is part of an operon, which is a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter. The binding of the repressor to the operator blocks RNA polymerase from transcribing the genes, thereby regulating gene expression.
