The two events caused by differences in gene expression are:

  1. During embryonic development, identical cells differentiate into skin cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, etc.
  2. Albino organisms are completely unable to produce melanin.

These events illustrate how variations in gene expression can lead to different cell types and traits in organisms.
