Answer:

Which genes are expressed in that particular cell

Explanation:

Not all genes are expressed at the same time. Distinct gene expression patterns define the identity of each cell.

For example, the genes involved in the function of muscle tissues are only expressed in muscle cells, not in skin cells (and vice versa).

Therefore, the phenotype of the cell is largely determined by the activity of genes in the cell
