Question

What is regulated gene expression?

a
a process by which microarrays detect which cells are producing which proteins
b
a method for blotting DNA fragments onto a positively charged membrane
c
the cell's ability to turn on and off genes at particular times
d
the unique gene pattern created by a genetic cross

Answer 1

C. The cell's ability to turn on and off genes at particular times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gene regulation is vital to cell differentiation and our bodies ability to respond to environmental stimuli. Cells have the ability to regulate the expression levels of genes by turning their expression on and off to produce proteins that are necessary.
