Cell Differentiation

Genes are expressed or not expressed in response to internal or environmental factors, and this plays a role in cell differentiation.

Use your notes and the article to answer the following questions:

Remember to use CER

Question 1

Short answer
What is epigenetics?

Question 2

Short answer
How does gene expression lead to cell differentiation and cell specialization?

Question 3

Short answer
What role do environmental factors play in cell differentiation?

Question 4

Short answer
Explain how the analogy of the genome as a library helps describe the process of gene expression in cell specialization.

Question 5

Short answer
Describe how drugs that alter gene expression can both positively and negatively influence cell differentiation.
