Answer:

Sub-threshold

Explanation:

If the stimulus is too small to generate the action potential, it is considered as subthreshold stimulus. Subthreshold stimulus causes the opening of small number of sodium channel i.e. not enough to generate action potential because action potential is generated by complete reversal of membrane polarity. Slight depolarization is caused by subthreshold stimulus by the opening of inadequate number of sodium channel but its magnitude is not enough to reach the threshold voltage. Consequently the action potential is not generated.

The response produced by subthreshold stimulus is called as local response or local depolarization because it could not travel further. The minimum stimulus required to generate the action potential is call as threshold stimulus and stimulus greater than threshold stimulus is called as suprathreshold stimulus. It changes the frequency of generated action potential.

These are the advantages of fruits and seeds in the Angiosperms. These advantages help the spread of the Angiosperms in different climatic conditions. Thank you

Rufina [12.5K]
The light would be best described as AN UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS.
An unconditioned stimulus refers to any stimulus which naturally evokes a response from the affected person. The response that is evoked is termed unconditioned response. In the question given above, the light is the unconditioned stimulus while the blinking is the unconditioned response.<span />

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.
