Melanocytes are a type of skin cell that produce melanin, a pigment derived from a protein which protects the cell's DNA from sunlight. A melanocyte has been exposed to sunlight for several hours and thus has been expressing the MCR1 gene, which ultimately causes the production of melanin. The sunlight suddenly disappears. What is the most energy efficient way for the melanocyte to adjust this change?
A) Stop the transcription of the MCR1 gene.
B) Use RNAi to destroy the mRNA produced form MCR1 gene.
C) Inactive the melanin protein.
