Question

Differentiation of cells involves which of the following process?

• A. Cell specialization
• B. Gene expression
• C. Gene interaction
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Gene expression

Differentiation is the process where the cell takes up a specialised function and go on to form tissues and organs. This information is stored in the genetic material of the organism and is passed on from the parents to the offspring. The differentiation is controlled by the gene expression.

This genetic material is present as chromatin in the nucleus and the nucleus is also known as the master organelle. The combination of the genes when expresses direct the morphogenetic movements in the organism.

So, the correct option is 'gene expression'.
