When stem cells differentiate and change in size and shape, specific genes are being **A. expressed**.
Gene expression refers to the process by which the information from a gene is used to synthesize a functional gene product, often a protein. This process involves transcription (the creation of RNA from the DNA template) and translation, but the term "expressed" encompasses the overall process of a gene being activated and ultimately leading to a functional outcome in the cell.
