The correct response to how a cell stops the production of a particular protein that is no longer needed in its development is:
**by repressing transcription and translation of the gene for the protein.**
This process involves regulating gene expression at multiple levels, primarily by preventing the transcription of the gene into messenger RNA (mRNA) and subsequently inhibiting the translation of that mRNA into the protein. Other methods, such as breaking down excess protein or degrading specific DNA segments, are not the primary mechanisms for stopping protein production at the gene expression level.
