An operon is controlled by a repressor. When the repressor binds to a small molecule, it binds to DNA near the operon. The opero

n is constitutively expressed if a mutation prevents the repressor from binding the small molecule. This is an example of a ______________ operon.

Answer:

Negatively repressible.

Explanation:

A control which occurs through repressor is known as negative control which may be inducible or repressible.

When a small molecule named as allolactose binds this repressor it leads to allosteric repulsion which removes repressor from the operator as a result of which RNA polymerase can start transcription. Allolactose is therefore known as inducer because it induces lac operon expression.

But here, the operator is active (induced) already so there is no need to induce the operon which means that it can only be repressed so that transcription could stop. So the answer is negatively repressible operon.

The proprioceptors are the sensors in the limbs, which give information regarding the muscle length, joint angle, and muscle tension that is combined to provide knowledge regarding the alignment of the limb in space. The muscle spindle is one of the kinds of proprioceptor, which gives information regarding the changes in the length of the muscle.  

On the other hand, a nociceptor refers to a sensory neuron, which reacts towards the potentially damaging or destructing stimuli by conducting probable danger signals towards the brain and the spinal cord.  

Proprioceptors are to reflex actions as nociceptors are to pain perception.
