Which of the following statements is not true of the ci (lambda repressor) protein in bacteriophage lambda? -can repress transcription if the ci gene -capable of both positive and negative auto regulation -can repress transcription of the cro gene -can activate transcription of the cro gene -can activate transcription of the ci gene

Among the following statement about the lambda bacteriophage the one that is not true is that capable of both positive and negative auto regulation

Option A

Explanation:

The lambda bacteriophage is a virus that affects the bacteria especially the Esrechia coli bacterium, the genetic material gets injected to the cytoplasm of the bacteria from its head leaving back the protein capsid of the cell, ones it gets into the host cell it either follows the lytic or the lysogenic cycle. In the lytic cycle it replicates inside and causes rupture of the host whereas in a lysogenic phase it coexists with the host.

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
