Help, can anyone help me?
1) If tryptophan is bound to TrpR, then the trp operon is _________?
2) If tryptophan is not bound to TrpR, the operon is ____________?

1) This is most likely repressed. With tryptophan being bound to TrpR, then polymerase cannot transcribe the gene.
2) Is probably inducible or active. Whatever acts on the tryptophan will bind with it and this will not allow the tryptophan to bind to the operon. This allows transcription to take place

Inducible?
Inducible meaning the operon would be turned "on" by the substrate
Repressible would then be the turned "off" operons by the products being synthesized.
