Open in App

Solution

S.No Repressor Inducer

1. Any molecule which repress the expression of the gene is termed as repressor. Inducer is a molecule in presence of which repressor fails to bind to the operator region.

2. Repressors are the proteins which binds to the operator region of DNA in such a way that RNA polymerase can not bind to promoter. Inducer are the proteins that binds to the repressor and prevents them from binding to the operator region in a way that RNA polymerase can bind to the promoter.

3. It inhibits transcription and gene will not be expressed. It induces transcription and genes are expressed in presence of an inducer.
