why is a gene regulation necessary in the development of multicellular organisms? use a specific example to support the argument.

Question

chunkymonkay · Answer

Gene regulation is needed in the development of multi-cellular organisms because the complexity of animals and plants depends on a remarkable feature of the genetic control system. Cells have a memory: the genes a cell expresses and the way it behaves depend on the cell's past as well as its present environment.

basically.christa · Answer

Gene regulation is necessary in the production of multi cellular organisms because every cell needs to be specialized, or differentiated, in structure and function in order for the cell, or as a whole, an organism to live efficiently. As a single embryo cell develops, differing sets of genes are regulated by transcription factors and repressors.
