     Which of the following statements describe how inducers cause changes in gene expression?  inducers bind to activator proteins and enhance the ability of the activator to bind DNA  inducers enhance transcription of all genes  inducers are ions that are essential for the function of RNA polymerase  inducers allow transcription of specific genes  inducers are small molecules that bind to DNA to enhance transcription of target genes 
  
  Solution
inducers bind to activator proteins and enhance the ability of the activator to bind DNA
Activators generally bind poorly to activator DNA sequences unless an inducer is present. Activator/inducer complex recruits RNA polymerase to promoter regions and promotes transcription.
