Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzyme synthesis involves both structural genes that code for the enzyme and regulatory genes that determine when and how much of the enzyme is produced. Induction and repression are part of the regulatory processes that control gene expression. Induction involves the activation of gene expression while repression involves the inhibition of gene expression. Both induction and repression can occur due to changes in the activity of regulatory proteins such as transcription factors or through epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation or histone modification. Thus, option B is the best choice as it describes the regulatory mechanisms involved in enzyme synthesis and gene expression.
