Question

n some organisms, the primary function of a gene in a cell is to participate in regulating the body as a whole rather than responding to the cell's immediate environment. These organisms would be diploid. multicellular. prokaryotic. bacterial.

Answer 1

Option B, Multicellular

Step-by-step explanation:

Prokaryotes as well as bacteria's are unicellular organism in which genes cater specific cellular requirement. In case of multi-cellular species, cell differentiate to form tissues and hence organs. Now these organs perform basic functions to keep this organism alive. Therefore, in multi celled organism a gene deals with the body as a whole. It does not respond to individual cell requirement. In doing so, individual cell requirements are also full-filled.

Hence, option B is correct

Answer 2

multicellular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Organisms exhibit various levels of organization of the body. It includes cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level of organization. The unicellular organisms have single cells as their bodies and therefore do not have the genes that regulate the various parts of the body rather than the individual cells. Prokaryotic are unicellular organisms only and do not have multiple cells in their bodies. Therefore, the mentioned genes are the regulatory genes that coordinate the functioning of various parts of the body of a multicellular organism. For instance, the genes involved in regulation of blood glucose levels.
