Attenuation affects anabolic pathways, whereas repression affects either anabolic or catabolic pathways. Provide an explanation for this.
a) Attenuation reduces the rate of transcription by premature termination, affecting anabolic pathways. Repression can affect both anabolic and catabolic pathways by inhibiting transcription initiation.
b) Attenuation increases the rate of transcription by premature termination, affecting anabolic pathways. Repression can affect both anabolic and catabolic pathways by enhancing transcription initiation.
c) Attenuation reduces the rate of translation by premature termination, affecting anabolic pathways. Repression can affect both anabolic and catabolic pathways by inhibiting translation initiation.
d) Attenuation increases the rate of translation by premature termination, affecting anabolic pathways. Repression can affect both anabolic and catabolic pathways by enhancing translation initiation
