Gene order can be inferred from gene expression patterns because
A)an upstream gene can affect downstream gene expression.
B)mRNAs for proteins in a pathway are produced at the same time, but then are translated only when the proteins are needed.
C)proteins in a pathway are produced at the same time but the proteins that are not needed are degraded.
D)mRNAs for proteins in a pathway are produced at the same time and those that are not needed are destabilized by miRNAs.
E)gene expression does not depend on upstream genes.
