Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Each cell has ____ of DNA with enzymes controlling the expression of specific genes, leading to a variety of cells.
A
two copies
B
multiple copies
C
an identical copy
D
different copies
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Specifically, gene expression is controlled on two levels. First, transcription is controlled by limiting the amount of mRNA that is produced from a particular gene. The second level of control is through post-transcriptional events that regulate the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gene expression is primarily controlled at the level of transcription, largely as a result of binding of proteins to specific sites on DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is carried out by an enzyme? called RNA polymerase which uses available bases from the nucleus? of the cell to form the mRNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell types in a multicellular organism become different from one another because they synthesize and accumulate different sets of RNA and protein molecules. They generally do this without altering the sequence of their DNA.
