When you read in your textbook the idea that gene expression is variable,this means that
A) the gene to chromosome relationship is not the same for all people.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene expression refers to the process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize a functional protein or RNA molecule. The level of gene expression can vary depending on the specific environment or conditions, leading to differences in protein synthesis. This variability in gene expression can lead to differences in phenotype (observable traits). Therefore, the correct choice is (D) the gene does not synthesize proteins the same way in all environments.
