Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Tryptophan regulates its own active synthesis by regulating the expression of its gene via feedback mechanism and also by acting as co-repressor which attaches with repressor proteins produced by regulator gene and blocking the promotor gene site thus blocking m-RNA synthesis and further steps. It is thus obvious that the synthesis of tryptophan is self regulatory, since it, when present in plenty, work firstly by feedback inhibition, and secondly through co-repression to stop further synthesis of tryptophan.
