A cell has evolved in an environment that lacks a particular food source. However, when given this food in the laboratory, it is able to digest and use it for energy. Which of the following is likely true about the operon used to produce the enzymes needed for this metabolic process? O A. The repressor is produced in the active state which causesst to bind to the operator. B. The repressor is produced in the inactive state which causes it to bind to the operator. O C. The repressor is produced in the active state which causes it to bind to the promoter. O D. The repressor is produced in the inactive state which causes it to bind to the promoter.
