Biology

Haemoglobin A is produced in red-blood cell (RBC) precursorsbut not in neurons. Focusing on regulation of transcription andusing what we've learned of gene control, what factors would turn\"off\" gene expression in neurons, and turn gene expression \"on\" inRBC precursors?
NOTE: Address the cells as they are right now, you don't haveto talk about tissue differentiation (fetal development). Think ofit this way: you have two cell types, a gene is off in one of themand on in another, if you could look into the nucleus what would bedifferent between the two cells that explains why the gene isexpressed in one and not the other.
