How do changes in gene expression relate to cell differentiation and specialization? Does every human cell have the same DNA, RNA or proteins?
In a complex multicellular animals and plant cells, where is DNA found?
Arctic foxes typically have a white coat in the
winter. In summer, when there is no snow on the
ground, the foxes typically have a darker coat.
Which of the following is most likely responsible
for the seasonal change in coat color?
(A) The decrease in the amount of daylight in
winter causes a change in gene expression,
which results in the foxes growing a lighter-
appearing coat.
(B) The diet of the foxes in summer lacks a
particular nutrient, which causes the foxes
to lose their white coat and grow a darker-
colored coat.
(C) Competition for mates in the spring causes
each fox to increase its camouflage with the
environment by producing a darker-
appearing coat.
(D) The lower temperatures in winter denature
the pigment molecules in the arctic fox coat,
causing the coat to become lighter in color.

- Which of the following is an explanation for how there can be differential gene expression throughout a multicellular organism? A) There are unique sets of genes present in the different tissues of the organisms B) Some tissues have histones, while other cells do not use histones C) There are unique combinations of transcription factors in different tissues of the organism D) Different tissues throughout the organism use different genetic coding rules .arrow_forwardAnother way to study the role of proteins (e.g., transcription factors) that function in development is to microinject the mRNA that encodes a protein, or the purified protein itself, into an oocyte or embryo, and then determine how this affects the subsequent development of the embryo, larva, and adult. For example, if Bicoid protein is injected into the posterior region of an oocyte, the resulting embryo will develop into a larva that has anterior structures at both ends. Based on your understanding of the function of each developmental gene, what would be the predicted phenotype if the following proteins or mRNAs were injected into normal oocytes? A. Nanos mRNA injected into the anterior end of an oocyte B. Antp protein injected into the posterior end of an embryo C.
