Question

The most valid hypothesis for why the control of gene expression is more complex in eukaryotes than in bacteria is ______. the most valid hypothesis for why the control of gene expression is more complex in eukaryotes than in bacteria is ______. more complicated cell structures in eukaryotes require more complex gene regulatory mechanisms the larger number of genes in eukaryotes means that regulation is more complex the need to create many differentiated cell types in eukaryotes means that there must be many mechanisms to modulate gene expression the need to respond to environmental signals in eukaryotes is greater than that in prokaryotic cells

Answer 1

Prokaryotic organisms tend to be single celled and rely on many simple mechanisms for nutrition and transport. However, eukaryotic organisms are more complex and have multiple systems within in their body, consisting of specialized cells and structures. Therefore, because the need to create many differentiated cell types in eukaryotes means that there must be many mechanisms to modulate gene expression.
