Question
How do protein gradients cause cells to differentiate?
Step 1
DNA is composed of regions where the chromatin has an open configuration. This means that regulatory proteins can gain access to the DNA. The degree to which the chromatin opens is dependent on chemical modifications of the outer parts of the histone molecules and Show more…
