D

Work Step by Step

Gene expression in multi-celled eukaryotic organisms is necessary for differentiation during development. It also allows individual cells to respond appropriately to changes in their internal and external environments. Also, control over gene expression drives embryonic development of complex multi-celled organisms. The entire process of development is driven by cascades of master gene expression. The products of master genes affect the expression of many other genes.
