GEne expression and embryonic developement/ cancer genes Flashcards
Differential gene expression
the expressions of different genes by different types of cells that all have the same genes
defferentiation
the proccess by which cells become specialized in structure and function
morphogenesis
creation of form, physical proccess that gives an organism its shape
Cytplastmic determinants
substances in the ctyoplasm in a mother’s egg cell that influence the early gene expression in an embryo
Homeotic Genes
responsible for body patterns

homeotic genes
oncogenes
mutated cancer causing genes (proto-oncogenes)
proto-oncogenes
code for proteins that stimulate normal cell growth and division
tUNMER-SUPRESSOR GENES
CODE FOR PROTEINS THAT INHIBIT VELL DIVISION
Which genes balance each other out
Proto-oncogenes and tumer- supressor genes
