Question

In flowering plants, gene expression for cell differentiation is independent of environmental regulation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Cell differentiation is how meristematic cells become specialised cells. This is driven by the process of gene expression. Gene expression is a result of a specific combination of genes being turned ‘on’ and ‘off’ (expressed or repressed) according to regulatory factors like hormones, environment, temperature and enzyme activity.
