Answer:

Explanation: Cells have to fulfill multiple different functions to be able to build complex multicellular organisms. Differently expressed genes lead to different proteins made in the cell, which leads to different morphology, shape or function. ... When this factor cannot be expressed, these cells do not develop at all.
