Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

If one is sitting for a prolonged time and experiences pain in the buttocks, it could be an issue associated with tuberosity in the pelvis, that is, ischial tuberosity. It is also considered as the seat bones or the sit bones  

The pain one experiences while sitting for a long time may be due to inflammation or irritation of the ischial bursa, that is, a fluid-occupied sac situated between the ischial tuberosity and the tendons, which associates the hamstring muscles with the bones.  

The given case, in which redness occurs signifies stage 1 at the ischial tuberosity, that is, the first stage of pressure ulcer taking place in the ischial tuberosity. The ischial tuberosity is situated in the base of buttocks.

A transcriptional repressor that controls the transcription of gene A is not normally active unless bound by an effector molecul
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Increase in transcription

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of forming RNA from DNA. It can be controlled by many factors like a repressor. Repressor can bind to the operator region of the promoter and hinder the movement of RNA Polymerase enzyme, halting the process.

Here, it is given that the repressor needs to first bind to an effector molecule X. Once it binds to X, it is activated and then it can bind to operator of gene A to inhibit its transcription. If the X binding domain on repressor is mutated it wont be able to bind to X. Thus it wont get activated and wont be able to attach to operator region to inhibit transcription. Hence, transcription process will keep going on uncontrolled.
