Multicellular organisms have different cell types because of gene regulation Which statements are true depictions of how human gene regulation works Check All That Apply Genes transcribed only in lung cells are present only in lung cell nuclei and genes transcribed in eye cells are present only in eye cell nuclei etc Some genes are transcribed only in kidneys because their enhancers are present only in kidney cells The genes that encode proteins present in muscle cells but not brain cells must be transcribed in muscle cells but not brain cells If a gene is transcribed and that transcript is processed the same way and also translated in all cell types the protein the mRNA encodes must be present and active in all cell types The enhancers of all genes exist in all cell types The transcript of a gene can be spliced the same way in cells of the iris and cornea but the protein might be active only in the iris cells A gene can be transcribed in both eyes and skin but the mRNAs of that gene could encode different proteins in those two cell types a skin specific protein and an eye specific protein If a protein is present only in pancreas cells that means that the gene encoding that protein is transcribed only in the pancreas If a particular gene is transcribed only in your bones that means that the gene s enhancer is active only in bone cells
