Why do cells regulate gene expression? to replicate DNA to transcribe DNA to translate protein to conserve energy and turn specific genes on only when they are needed

How do cells regulate gene expression using alternative RNA splicing? Alternative RNA splicing determines which genes are transcribed to mRNA. Alternative RNA splicing determines which proteins are produced from each gene. Alternative RNA splicing determines which genes are underexpressed. Alternative RNA splicing determines how fast certain proteins are degraded.

Why do you suppose phages regulate their gene expression during development so that genes whose products are involved in DNA replication are transcribed before genes whose products become part of the phage particle? What do you suppose would happen if they did not do this?

If a cell contains all the genetic material it needs to synthesize protein, why must the DNA also replicate?
