What happens to the repressor protein when it's not functioning?

When the repressor protein in not functioning then the gene that that protein was blocking will be "turned on". BTW its not right to cheat, even on study guides ;)

What state is the repressor protein in when tryptophan is absent?
The repressor protein is inactive.
If a specific kind of protein is not continually used by a cell the gene for that protein is?
the gene is never expressed. ^^^^ this guy is a frickin idiot. and this would more of be in the cells/ biology section. What happens is a repressor binds to the operator and turns off the gene so the protein doesn't get made. and when its needed the repressor detaches and the gene is turned back on. ( this all happens on a strand of DNA )
How is the trp repressor protein and allosteric protein?
If Tryptophan is low in the diet, the repressor changes shape and allows the RNA polymerase to attach and copy the DNA so that Tryptophan can be produced by the cell.
What happens when a repressor is bound to the operator?
Nothing
The presence of a repressor protein prevents the action of what enzyme?
RNA polymerase.
What state is the repressor protein in when tryptophan is absent?
The repressor protein is inactive.
A protein that binds to an operator and inhibits transcription?
A repressor protein, also called an Inhibitor.
This protein is produced by a regulatory gene?
a repressor protein
A repressor protein binds with?
The regulator
The operon segment composed of the gene that codes for a protein repressor is called the?
The operon segment composed of the gene that codes for a protein repressor is called the regulatory gene. This gene produces the repressor protein that can bind to the operator region of the operon, preventing transcription of the structural genes when the repressor is bound.
If a specific kind of protein is not continually used by a cell the gene for that protein is?
the gene is never expressed. ^^^^ this guy is a frickin idiot. and this would more of be in the cells/ biology section. What happens is a repressor binds to the operator and turns off the gene so the protein doesn't get made. and when its needed the repressor detaches and the gene is turned back on. ( this all happens on a strand of DNA )
When is the repressor protein transcribed?
It is always transcribed.
What is a gene regulation?
The regulator gene produces repressor protein.
How is the trp repressor protein and allosteric protein?
If Tryptophan is low in the diet, the repressor changes shape and allows the RNA polymerase to attach and copy the DNA so that Tryptophan can be produced by the cell.
What happens when a repressor is bound to the operator?
Nothing
The presence of a repressor protein prevents the action of what enzyme?
RNA polymerase.
In prokaryotes a protein that binds to the operator and blocks the prometer is called?
Repressor
