A)signal transduction results in activation of a set of transcription factors.
B)genes that produce the Notch ligand are transcribed.
C)genes that produce the Notch receptor are inhibited.
D)genes that produce the EGF receptor in the adjacent cells are inhibited.
E)All of these choices are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When EGF binds an EGF receptor on a progenitor cell during the development of the vulva in Caenorhabditis elegans, it initiates a cascade of events: signal transduction activates a set of transcription factors (A), which can lead to the transcription of genes that produce the Notch ligand (B). This interaction can also influence the expression of genes related to the Notch receptor (C) and potentially affect the expression of genes for the EGF receptor in adjacent cells (D), illustrating a complex network of signaling pathways involved in cell differentiation and development.
