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.

Answer: Vaccines give you immunity to a disease without you getting sick first. They are made using killed or weakened versions of the disease-causing germ or parts of the germ (called antigens). For some vaccines, genetic engineering is used to make the antigens used in the vaccine.

Explanation: Vaccines greatly reduce the risk of infection by working with the body's natural defenses to safely develop immunity to disease.
