Which general genetic process is believed to account for the variety of cellular structures and functions in eukaryotic cells?
A) variable gene activity
B) negative control exclusively
C) maternal environmental activities
D) intron processing
E) RNA processing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Variable gene activity, also known as differential gene expression, allows for different genes to be turned on or off in different cell types, leading to the development of specialized structures and functions. This is believed to be the primary genetic process that accounts for the variety seen in eukaryotic cells. The other choices (B, C, D, and E) are not as directly related to the diversity of cellular structures and functions.
