Solution

The statement that is NOT true about gene expression is:

d) House keeping genes are expressed intermittently.

Explanation: Housekeeping genes are genes that are constantly active as they provide basic functions needed for the survival of cells. They do not express intermittently, but rather, they are consistently expressed to maintain cellular functions.
