If a cell loses control of gene expression, the most appropriate response from your options is:
**Abnormal, unhealthy cells develop.**
Loss of control over gene expression can lead to issues such as uncontrolled cell growth, which is a characteristic of cancerous cells, or the production of abnormal proteins that can disrupt normal cellular functions, resulting in unhealthy cells. The other options, such as careful resource use, increased specialization, or healthy mature cells developing, would not typically occur in a scenario where gene expression is dysregulated.
