Answer:

Genes called "molecular switch" or master genes have the purpose of control when other genes are expressed (option A).

Explanation:

Master gene is so named because it has the function of controlling the behavior of other genes, organizing their functions and regulating when they can be expressed.

The name of molecular switch is synonymous with the master gene, since its activation determines the genetic regulation necessary to establish cell differentiation and even the determination of the sex of some species.

The other options are not correct because:

B. Master genes do not determine the organization of the genome .

C. Regulation of cell metabolism depends of substances as hormones and enzymes.

D. The rate of translation does not depend on the activity of master genes.

In dna replication, each individual parent strand acts as a _____ strand for the synthesis of a _____ strand.

irina [24]

The answer is template strand; daughter strand.

In DNA replication, each individual parent strand acts as a template strand for the synthesis of a daughter strand. DNA replication is a process of producing of two identical copies of DNA from the original DNA. DNA molecule consists of two strands and each strand serves as a template strand for the synthesis of a daughter cell. DNA polymerase binds to the origins of replication and synthesises daughter strands by adding complementary nucleotides.
