Answer:

The correct answer is A. the genes expressed in skin cells may not be expressed in nerve cells and vise versa.

Explanation:

Every cell in the body contains the same set of genes in their chromosomes but only some fraction of its gene expresses which allows the different cells to appear and function differently in their environment.

Therefore every cell makes different proteins according to the job that cell performs like in RBC genes are expressed to synthesize the hemoglobin proteins but other cells do not produce this protein because genes for hemoglobin is not expressed in them.

Therefore the right answer is A. the genes expressed in skin cells may not be expressed in nerve cells and vise Versa.

What this suggest about rounded wings?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

<em>The round wings of fruit flies is dominant over the curled type.</em>

Explanation:

A dominant trait can be described as a trait which is determined by the dominant alleles. The dominant alleles have the tendency to mask the effect of the recessive trait. Hence, a dominant trait can either be homozygous or heterozygous for the trait.

A recessive trait gets suppressed y the dominant trait. For a recessive trait to occur, both the alleles of the gene should be recessive for that trait.
