Which development is likely to result in decreased expression of some genes by a cell?
A) Significant events that alter an individual's genotype
B) Biological events that cause the cell to multiply rapidly
C) Environmental changes that reduce the need for those genes to make particular proteins
D) Environmental changes that accelerate other vital cell processes over a short timespan

Environmental changes that reduce the need for certain genes to make particular proteins may result in decreased expression of these genes as the cell does not require these proteins as much. This could be due to changes in the cell's environment, such as a different nutrient availability or a change in external stimuli. The other options do not necessarily lead to decreased gene expression.
