Question

Transcribed Image Text:6 of 22
All cells in a given mammal carry the same genome, yet certain genes are expressed only in a particular tissue, such as in the eye, and not expressed in other tissues, such as in the liver. How is this specificity of gene
expression for a particular tissue achieved?
O All different cell types in the organism express all proteins equally and degrade the proteins that they don't need.
O Different tissues express unique transcription factors that are bound to tissue-specific enhancer elements, thereby achieving tissue-specific gene expression.
O Certain organ and tissue systems, such as the nervous system, form relatively early in the organism's embryonic life, as compared to the epidermis; it is this relative age of the tissue lineage that determines which tissue-
specific genes are expressed.
O Different tissues inactivate whole swaths of the genome, thereby achieving tissue-specific gene expression.
O Each tissue has a unique RNA polymerase holoenzyme that achieves tissue-specific gene expression.
