Answer

Genetic switches represent variations in a common set of genes, which can allow different organism populations to evolve differently. These switches involve gene promoters, as well as the transcription factors that attach to promoter sites. Genetic switches also include enhancers and repressors that are responsible for modulating the interactions of these transcription factors and promoters.
