Differential gene expression patterns allow one tissue to produce a hormone, and another to facilitate nutrient exchange. The same organ can serve both functions because it can synthesize different proteins.
<h3>Diferential gene expression</h3>
Gene expression refers to the differential process by which different genes are expressed (transcribed and then translated) in different cell types.
Gene expression enables different functions due to the production of different types of proteins which may have both enzymatic and structural functions.
A specialized cell type or organ can synthesize different proteins and also generate other molecules (either enzymes or structural proteins) due to the process of cell differentiation.

Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of plague
Explanation:
Rodents, such as rats, carry the disease. It is spread by their fleas.
Hi there!
<u>Electronegativity</u> is the concept of how likely an atom is to attract the shared molecules in one of these bonds to itself. We know the molecule water is made up of two hydrogens and one oxygen. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2, and oxygen 3.4. An <u>ionic bond</u> needs at least a difference in electronegativity of 1.6. As the difference is less than that, we can say that water is a covalent molecule. This then wipes out choice B, because it is not ionic, and C, as we have seen it is actually covalent.
Now, we can see the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen is still 1.2. This means that while it is not at the point for there to be an ionic bond, there is still a difference in attraction, where the electrons will tend to favor the oxygen more and 'hang around it' more. As electrons are <u>negatively charged</u><em><u>,</u></em> this means that the oxygen will gain a slightly negative charge. This then makes the molecule polar, because it now has a charge within the molecule. This means we have our answer, choice D.
In terms of hydrophobic molecules - they tend to be ones without a charge. (If you're interested in this kind of stuff, I'd search hydrophobic up, and possibly also look into hydrogen bonds).
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask me any other questions you have about this specific problem.
A semipermeable membrane is any biological or synthetic membrane that allows certain molecules or ions to pass through while restricting others.
