Question
eukaryotic origins and multicellularity same genome, look different? how can two cells of a complex multicellular organism have the same genome but markedly different structures and functions? during differentiation, as cells become specialized, they lose portions of their genome that are no longer needed. different genes are expressed in different cells. part of the process of differentiation of cells is to create mutations in the genome. once differentiation begins, the genome no longer controls cellular functions.
Cells in a multicellular organism have the same genome. Differentiation leads to different appearances and functions because different genes are expressed in different cells. Gene - expression regulation controls which genes are turned on or off in a cell, giving it a specialized structure and function.
