Answer:

D. The insect develops legs in other parts of its body.

Explanation:

HOX genes, also known as homeotic genes, are evolutionarily conserved genes (containing homeobox sequences) that encode master regulators of embryonic development in animals. Hox genes modulate the body plan of an embryo along the head-tail axis. In general, these genes are arranged in the same order as they are transcriptionally expressed along the anteroposterior body axis. Moreover, Ultrabithorax (Ubx) is a Hox gene that is responsible for the proper development of the third thoracic segment in insects. In <em>Drosophila</em>, it has been shown that different segments of the leg regulate their size in response to Ubx expression.

A transcriptional repressor that controls the transcription of gene A is not normally active unless bound by an effector molecul
hoa [83]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

I think its C . A transcriptional repressor usually represses the transcription pathway when its active. According to the question, the repressor is not usually active until an effector molecule binds to it making it active and blocking the transcription pathway. So if the region where the effector binds on the repressor is mutated i.e. it turns nonfunctional that means the effector cannot bind to repressor which means repressor cannot become active to block transcription which in turn increases the transcription of gene A because repressor cannot repress it since it is inactive due to its inability to bind to the effector.
