Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario describes negative control, where the regulatory protein associated with the DNA segment inhibits (reduces) transcription. Induction, stimulation, and activation all describe situations where the regulatory protein enhances transcription, while positive control is a broader term that encompasses both situations where the protein enhances and inhibits transcription.
