1. How can organisms generate so many structurally and functionally different cells?

2. Differential Gene Expression Genome is same, but the shapes and functions of cells are different How are there so many different cells developed from one cell (fertilized egg)? Condition 1.DNA of all differentiated cells are identical. 2.Unexpressed genes in the differentiated cells are not mutated. *evidence) animal cloning is successful even with adult cells 3. Only small percentage of the genome is expressed in each cell.

3. Figure 2.1 Cloned mammals have been created using nuclei from adult somatic cells Q) Why was the rate of somatic cloning so extremely lower ?
