Signal transduction pathways can change gene expression, altering protein production to modify phenotype or trigger apoptosis, like ethylene's role in fruit ripening.
Signal transduction can alter gene expression, changing protein production to modify phenotype or induce apoptosis, as seen in ethylene signaling for fruit ripening.
| Text | Signal transduction pathways can target gene expression to change amount/type of protein produced. This can alter phenotype or result in apoptosis. For example, signal transduction pathways that respond to ethylene cause changes in the production of different enzymes allowing fruits to ripen. |
