Which of the following succinctly explains differential gene expression? (Use recall strategy.)

Differential gene expression refers to the unequal segregation of ribosomes during cell division, causing daughter cells to synthesize different proteins despite identical genomes.

Different cell types express different subsets of genes from the same genome, producing distinct proteins that determine cell-specific structure and function.

It is a process by which cells permanently destroy half of their chromosomes during development, creating distinct genetic templates for each tissue.

Differential gene expression means each cell type contains different DNA sequences that encode unique proteins unavailable to other cells.
