Need Help with these question ASAP. Can Someone help me out. Thank You

5. Imagine you are investigating the case of a young man who seems not to respond to stressful situations the same way most people do. In research studies, most people respond to videos depicting frightening situations with several measurable changes in their physiology. Each of these changes in physiology results from a change in the level of expression of one of our genes. Cortisol, our primary stress hormone, causes these changes in expression in all the relevant genes. While this particular young man has almost the same reaction as everyone else does to the videos, there is one particular aspect of the physiological response he does not exhibit. Please describe a gene mutation that could be responsible for this young man’s condition.

Explanation / Answer

He may have a gene mutation that results in the production of a defective transcription factor. This transcription factor may not bind the target gene to exert its physiological response.
