What causes cell differentiation in specialized cells such as muscle, blood, or nerve cells?

Back

DNA

Plants, animals, and fungi are composed of many cells working together. They are called:
- multicellular organism
- unicellular organism
- cell differentiation
- cell diversity

Cells in our body that send messages back and forth around our bodies are called: muscle cells, nerve cells, organelles, DNA

Back

nerve cells

Front

What causes cells in our bodies to do different things?

Back

DNA

Front

Why do cells differentiate to perform different functions?

Back

Different genes are turned on or off inside that cell.

Front

During the process of differentiation, what happens to DNA?

Back

Only specific sections of DNA sequence are activated to determine the structure and functions of a body cell.

Front

There are about 200 cells in the human body. All these cells have the same DNA. True or False?

Back

True

Front

Unspecialized cells in our body that have the ability to differentiate into different types of cells are called

Back

stem cells

Front

How do multicellular organisms develop different types of cells from an undifferentiated mass?

Back

gene expression in specific parts of DNA
