How and Why Genes Are Regulated ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

DIFFERENT GENE CATEGORIES Housekeeping genes Genes turned “on” in all cells at all times (e.g. transcription machinery, translation machinery, energy conversion, etc.). Cell type specific genes Genes that are turned “on” in each cell that give a cell its special properties and function. Developmental regulatory genes Genes specific to certain stages during growth & development of a person. Inducible genes Genes not normally expressed but can be in response to external stimuli (e.g. hormone).
