When an inducer is added to a medium containing an organism with a metabolic pathway controlled by a repressor, the inducer then Group of answer choices combines with the substrate and blocks induction. does not combine with, but rather functions as a chaperone molecule for, the enzyme-substrate complex. combines with the repressor and activates the repressor. combines with the substrate and activates induction. combines with the repressor and inactivates the repressor.

The correct answer is - combines with the repressor and inactivates the repressor.

Explanation:

The role of inducers is to bind with a repressor in a metabolic pathway and cause them to change their shape. This modification of the shape in the repressor structure prevents them to bind with the DNA and the metabolic pathway continues.

So, inducers inactivate the repressors by binding them. For example in Lac operon lactose, an inducer bindswith the repressor and dissociates it from DNA and inactivates the repressor.
