Prokaryote's ability to regulate patterns of gene expression most likely promotes the organism's survival by .a) allowing environmental changes to alter a prokaryote's genomeb) allowing each gene to be expressed an equal number of timesc) allowing an organism to adjust to changes in environmental conditionsd) organizing gene expression, so that genes are expressed in a given order

c) allowing an organism to adjust to changes in environmental conditions

Explanation:

A stimulus can be defined as any change in the external or internal environment that produces a corresponding response in the organism. These responses enable the organism to maintain an internal equilibrium (homeostasis). Gene expression in prokaryotes, which are the simplest forms of life, is highly regulated by environmental stimuli. Some examples of stimuli known to regulate gene expression patterns in prokaryotic organisms are light, water, pressure, temperature, etc.

your answer is true
