A certain gene is used for certain types of functions.

If that gene is always in action, your body cannot control certain functions on and off, which lead to a lot of health hazard.

Each cell expresses, or activate only a particular fraction of its genes.

The rest of the genes are sub missed or turned off.

Explanation:

  • The gene regulation is the process, which makes the gene to be active in certain time and inactive on certain time.
  • This is to adjust with external environment. The external environment makes the gene to function accordingly.
  • Each cell expresses the gene to that extreme level based on activity. The gene regulation is managed by gene switch off mechanism of body.
  • Hence the external environment triggers the maintenance of gene system to act accordingly.

Genes that are involved in turning on or off the transcription of structural genes are- (a) redundant gene (b)operator gene. (C)regulatory gene. (d) polymorphic genes
