Question

which of the following is a true statement? which proteins a cell makes is determined by which genes are activated in that cell. only activated proteins combine to form mrna molecules during protein synthesis. different cells make different proteins because they contain different genes. all genes in all cells are activated during protein synthesis. need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

In multicellular organisms, cell - type is determined by gene expression. Not all genes are activated in all cells during protein synthesis. Different cells have the same genes but express different subsets of them, leading to the production of different proteins. mRNA is formed from activated genes, not the other way around as stated in one option.

Answer:

The statement "Which proteins a cell makes is determined by which genes are activated in that cell" is a true statement.
