Housekeeping genes produce essential enzymes for basic cell functions, whereas tissue-specific genes code for proteins like hormones, required for particular functions at specific times.
Housekeeping genes code for essential enzymes, while tissue-specific genes code for proteins like hormones, required only at certain times for specific responses.
