You are working with a gene associated with an essential pathway that is necessary at two time points in an organism's lifetime.With regard to gene regulation,you would expect the gene to be
A)not constitutive.
B)associated with response to distinct events.
C)"activated" by particular signals (induced).
D)"turned off" by particular signals (repressed).
E)all of the above

Since the gene is associated with an essential pathway at two distinct time points, it is unlikely to be constitutive. Instead, the gene is likely to be regulated in response to distinct events that occur at each time point. Regulation may be through induction or repression, depending on the specific signals and conditions that are present during these time points. Therefore, all of the choices listed in the answer options apply to the regulation of this gene.
