This is because not all genes are expressed at the same time, so not all the proteins are present at a certain moment. The mechanisms that cell uses to control gene expression are called regulation of the gene expression. Thanks to regulation of the genes, cells have the ability to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products such as proteins. This property is important for the adaptability of an organism because it allows the cell to express protein when needed.

What is the function/importance of the muscular system?
Lera25 [3.4K]
<h2>╔═⋄═◇═◈═❖═✧═☆═✧═❖═◈═◇═⋄═╗</h2><h2 /><h2>➤ Answer </h2>

☆ The function of the muscular system to respond to information from the brain, and contract accordingly.

<h3>➤ Reason</h3>

✧ The nervous system is responsible for sending signals to the body to control it. Your nervous system can send electrical pulses to your muscles, which they respond accordingly, moving in what ever way your nervous system told it to. Your nervous system is controlled by your brain, and this is why you can control these movements. Say for example, when you move, your fingers, you are actually just sending electrical signals to your hands which cause your muscles to contract, making your finger move in a certain direction. The muscles are connected to your bones, which are connected to joints, allowing the bones to move in different directs when your muscles contract.

<h2>✧ Your brain is powerful.</h2><h2 /><h2>╚═⋄═◇═◈═❖═✧═☆═✧═❖═◈═◇═⋄═╝</h2><h2 /><h2 /><h2 /><h2 /><h2 />
