Question
A certain cell no longer needs a particular protein in its development.
How does the cell stop production of the protein?
Responses
by repressing transcription and translation of the gene for the protein
by repressing transcription and translation of the gene for the protein
by using vesicles to transport excess protein from the cell
by using vesicles to transport excess protein from the cell
by recruiting enzymes to break down any additional protein produced
by recruiting enzymes to break down any additional protein produced
by breaking down the segments of DNA containing the gene for that protein

The correct response is:
**by repressing transcription and translation of the gene for the protein.**
When a cell no longer needs a particular protein, it primarily stops its production by regulating gene expression. This involves repressing the transcription of the gene, which prevents the synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA) that would otherwise be translated into the protein. Additionally, if there are already mRNA molecules present, the cell can also inhibit translation.
