Question
A certain cell no longer needs a particular protein in its development.
How does the cell stop production of the protein?
Question 2 options:
by repressing transcription and translation of the gene for the protein
by recruiting enzymes to break down any additional protein produced
by breaking down the segments of DNA containing the gene for that protein
by using vesicles to transport excess protein from the cell

The correct option for how a cell stops production of a particular protein it no longer needs is:
**by repressing transcription and translation of the gene for the protein.**
This process involves multiple regulatory mechanisms where the cell can decrease or prevent mRNA synthesis (transcription) of the gene coding for the protein and inhibit the translation process that converts the mRNA into the protein itself.
