Question

Please answer and explain the following question below. I belive the answer is C, but would like to check and make sure. Thank you!

true? a) When the Ey gene is expressed in adult leg cells, these cells de-differentiate and become eye (b) The Ey gene encodes a transcription regulator that is the only transcription regulator used to (When the Ey gene is introduced into cells that would normally give rise to a leg, the transcription cells. produce a fruit-fly eye. regulators used to control its expression in the leg are different from those that are normally used to control Ey expression in the eye. d) All the eye cells found in the adult leg are a single cell type and have identical characteristics.

Explanation / Answer

(c) would be the right answer because when you introduce Ey gene into the cells of the leg that will transcribe by different TF which codes for leg specific gene expression. But these TFs also transcribe your Ey gene that are might be different from actual TFs codes for eye-specific gene expression. So that leg specific gene transcription machinery will also be useful to transcribe your Ey gene in the leg.
