How does the lac repressor inhibit transcription? Group of answer choices It binds to the RNA polymerase and prevents its association to the DNA.It binds to RNA polymerase and causes a frame shift, thus producing an mRNA with a nonsense mutation.It binds to the DNA and prevents the RNA polymerase from unwinding and transcribing the DNA.It binds to the mRNA molecule, preventing ribosomes from binding.None of the answers is correct.
