Question

Describe how gene expression relates to morphogenesis.

PLEASE HELP! I DON"T UNDERSTAND IT!

Answer 1

@MissSmartiez

Answer 2

Do you know what a morphogenesis is?

Answer 3

Yes, it the process that causes an organism to develop it's shape.

Answer 4

Gene Expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product

Answer 5

Elaborated terms:

Morphogenesis,
Turing, Alan: morphogenesis [Credit: © Open University (A Britannica Publishing Partner)]
the shaping of an organism by embryological processes of differentiation of cells, tissues, and organs and the development of organ systems according to the genetic “blueprint” of the potential organism and environmental conditions.

Plant morphogenesis is brought about chiefly through differential growth. Permanent embryonic tissue results in a morphogenetic potential that varies greatly with the environment and continues to produce new organs throughout the life of the plant. Animal morphogenesis is accomplished by growth and by cell movement. A fixed pattern is established early; the organism is determined as to shape, size, and organ complement. Once organs are formed, no new ones (with few exceptions) are produced.

Answer 6

Note, it says what? Blue prints?

Now. Can genes relate?

Answer 7

What do you mean?

Answer 8

Genes can determine what in the organism.

Answer 9

its traits and how it functions right? Can it also help build proteins?

Answer 10

Yes, to both of the questions.

Answer 11

Ah, that is the point.

1: "A fixed pattern is established early; the organism is determined as to shape, size, and organ complement. '

2: Genes help determine a trait, (or traits) of the organism. Like eye color, shape, how tall or small it is...

Answer 12

ok.

Answer 13

Can you see the relationship >:D?

Answer 14

no, not really.

Answer 15

Genetic expression has its links to morphogenesis.

Now, draw what are the links?

Do they both help structure proteins?

Do they both establish blue prints on what the organism would function and or look like?

Answer 16

Ask this.

Aren't genes apart of your DNA code? What does the DNA code do?

Now, here is part what morphogenesis does.

"A fixed pattern is established early; the organism is determined as to shape, size, and organ complement. "

Look at my before post though.

Answer 17

Yes, they both help structure proteins. Morphogenesis develops the shape while genes determines the shape?
Yes, they both establish the blue prints because they both develop the cell?

Answer 18

There you go.

Answer 19

Can you elaborate why they both set the blueprints for the cell?

How genes do it:

How Moprhogenesis do it:

Answer 20

Genes give the traits of a cell
Morphogenesis gives the shape of the cell.

Answer 21

Okay, I think I get it now. Thanks for the help!!!!!
Have a great rest of the day! Bye!
