In a human, only the β cells of the pancreas make insulin and only the chief cells of the stomach make pepsinogen (an inactive f

orm of the main digestive enzyme pepsin). This is most likely because:
a. Only the DNA of β cells contains the gene for insulin; only the DNA of chief cells contains the gene for pepsinogen
b. A different combination of control elements is found within enhancers associated with the insulin vs. pepsinogen genes
c. β cells and chief cells will synthesize the combination of activator proteins specific for the enhancers of the insulin and pepsinogen genes, respectively

Answer:

a. Only the DNA of β cells contains the gene for insulin; only the DNA of chief cells contains the gene for pepsinogen

Explanation:

As stated in the question above, insulin production is exclusive to β cells in the pancreas. This is because only these cells have a gene that manages the production and excretion of insulin within an organism. Similarly, only the main cells of the stomach have the capacity to produce pepsinogen, which indicates that the gene responsible for managing this production is unique to these cells.

Would it be easier for an investigator to change the outcome of differentiation if a cell used cytoplasmic determinants or induc
IrinaK [193]

The correct answer is: Induction, because this could be easily changed by changing the cell's environment.

Cell differentiation (process by which cell becomes specialized) can be under the influence of many factors:

• Cytoplasmic influence because cytoplasm can influence and control the behaviour of nuclear genes.

• Embryonic induction-changing the cell environment

For example: if cells from one region of the embryo are transplanted to some other region that transplant will most likely differentiate according to the chemical regulators of the surrounding cells.  

• Proteins present in a cell influences its differentiation

• Cell-Cell interactions via cell-cell adhesion and signalling molecules.
