Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) Bacteria can quickly adapt to new environments by turning genes on or off in response to changes, such as nutrient availability. B) In multicellular organisms, different cells have different functions, and gene expression controls the development and differentiation of these cells. D) Homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment, is crucial for the survival of multicellular organisms, and controlled gene expression allows different cells to perform their specific roles in this process.
