The genes are controlled by the control elements in their upstream sequence. It can also regulated at RNA level by si, sh RNAs. The regulation is basically influenced by the surrounding environments. Proteins mediated the regulation of gene expression.

What are the factors that control a trait called?
what do we call factors that control traits
What controls the way in which a zygote differentiates?
Selective genes are turned on and off, depending on the fate of the cell.
Genes located in different regions of the body during embryonic development may be which turned on and off never turned on turned on and left on activated for different times in different cells or all?
All of the above
Are genes located on the autosomal called sex linked genes?
No, genes located on the autosomes are not called sex linked genes. Only genes located on the sex chromosomes are called sex linked genes.
What is a short segment of DNA on a chromosome called?
A segment of DNA is called a gene. All an organism's biological traits are the result of gene coding. Though it was once thought that one gene codes for one trait, it is now understood that a gene may code for more than one trait, and genes may work with other genes to produce a trait. It is also known that genes may be turned on or off, but much more study is needed to understand genes completely. Much of the knowledge we have about genes today is the result of the Human Genome Project.
The test that is used to determine the pattern of genes that are turned on or off in cancer cells is called?
Pedigree

Are all of organism's genes turned on at the same time?
No. Only certain genes are active at the same time. When they are not active, they are turned off.
What does recessive albinism mean?
An Autosomal recessive pattern is one in which certain genes of the X sex chromosome are turned off, autosomal is in reference to the X chromosome and the fact that the genes are turned off is indicated by the recessive. So in the case of Albinism the pigmentation genes in the X chromosome are turned off causing the various side effects.
Genes located in different regions of the body during embryonic development may be what?
turned on and off
What controls the way in which a zygote differentiates?
Selective genes are turned on and off, depending on the fate of the cell.
Why does it take only a few homeotic genes to control the development of a eukaryote?
Different genes are turned on or off in the different cell types as a result of specialization
What is the control center of a unicellular organsism?
A unicellular organism is an animal with just one cell, inside the nucleus, there are chromosomes which contain genes, at first all of the genes are turned on (Have a positive charge) ... Depending on which genes are turned off (Had an electron added to them) after the cell was created, this determines the actions of the cell throughout its life... When the genes have been switched off it is then the nucleus which drives the cell to act correctly according to the genetic instructions given by the genes.
What causes weakness in offspring of genetically similar parents?
It's all genetics, genetics are like light switches, some may be turned on which will be the dominant genes and others will be turned off. So the parent that has a weakness' genes will be the dominant genes so the offspring will therefore be weak or have the same/similar weaknesses.
Genes located in different regions of the body during embryonic development may be which turned on and off never turned on turned on and left on activated for different times in different cells or all?
All of the above
What is the relationship between genes and the environment?
Genes are regulated through a number of ways. Some can be regulated by the environment you're in. For example, if you're in the sun a lot, genes will get turned on or up to increase the production of skin pigmentation so you get tanned. When you stay out of the sun, the genes turn off and your skin gets lighter.
Are genes located on the autosomal called sex linked genes?
No, genes located on the autosomes are not called sex linked genes. Only genes located on the sex chromosomes are called sex linked genes.
