Every gene is regulated differently in each cell type.
A
True
B
False
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the statement: The problem is asking whether every gene is regulated differently in each cell type.
Recall the concept of gene regulation: Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that control the expression of genes, ensuring that the right genes are expressed at the right times and in the right amounts.
Consider the role of cell types: Different cell types can have different gene expression profiles, meaning that some genes may be regulated differently depending on the cell type.
Evaluate the statement: While many genes are regulated differently in different cell types, not every gene is regulated differently. Some genes, known as housekeeping genes, are expressed consistently across various cell types.
Conclude the analysis: Based on the understanding that not every gene is regulated differently in each cell type, the statement 'Every gene is regulated differently in each cell type' is false.
