Based on the sections Multicellularity in the Volvocine Alga

Based on the sections \"Multicellularity in the Volvocine Algae\" and \"Mutational/Functional Genetics\", what important aspect of multicellularity does the glsA gene regulate in Volvox? cell communication cellular differentiation bulk transport cell adhesion

Solution

The glsA gene is involved in asymmetric cell division and germ cell specification during embryogenesis – these are aspects of cell differentiation. Hence the correct answer is Cellular differentiation.
