neural stem cells from the brain can differentiate into which types of cell

specialized brain cells and specialized skin cells

stem cells are defined as

A cell that has the ability to continuously divide and differentiate into various other kinds of cells/tissues

a cell that has the ability to divide only once and stay the same as other kinds of cells

any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells

a cell that contains a nucleus surrounded by a membrane and whose DNA is bound together by proteins

Which best explains why muscle cells are different from blood cells?

Different genes are activated in muscle cells than in blood cells.

Muscle cells are produced by the brain, but blood cells are produced by the heart.

Muscles cells experience different environmental influences than blood cells.

A mutation occurs during the development of muscle cells but not in blood cells.

Which of the following is NOT TRUE about somatic cells?

Sperm cells and egg cells would be examples

They have a complete set of chromosomes

They have chromosomes which come in pairs

Skin cells and liver cells would be examples

A blastocyst has a _______________ which will become placenta and an ______________________ which will become the rest of the embryo.

trophoblast; artificial twinning

somatic cell; enucleated oocyte

When an "oocyte is enucleated" . . .

a nucleus is removed from an oocyte

a skin cell is fused with an egg

a nucleus is removed from a somatic cell

a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell

SCNT stands for . . .

Somatic Cell Natural Transcription

When a somatic cell is transferred into an enucleated oocyte during SCNT, the combined cells must be fertilized so that they begin mitosis.

FALSE - the combined cells must be shocked to begin mitosis

FALSE - somatic cells are enucleated NOT oocytes

FALSE - the combined cells must begin meiosis NOT mitosis

Why are bone marrow cells a good example of adult stem cells?

Bone marrow cells are multipotent and can only become red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

They aren't. Bone marrow cells are embryonic stem cells.

Bone marrow cells have the potential to become every type of cell in the body.

Bone marrow cells are only found in humans 18 and over.

Which of the following is TRUE about reproductive and therapeutic cloning?

Both involve SCNT up to the blastocyst stage

Reproductive involves SCNT whereas therapeutic involves artificial twinning

Neither involves destroying a blastocyst

Reproductive cloning produces embryonic stem cells while therapeutic cloning produces adult stem cells.

embryonic stem cells can differentiate into what kinds of cells

all types of specialized cells in the body

only cells derived from tissues

what is the role of stem cells in the body

they produce new specialized cells in the body to replace old cells that are used up

provide specialized roles in the body

what are adult stem cells?

undifferentiated cell, found among differentiated cells in a tissue or organ

differentiated cell, thought to be found among other differentiated cells in a tissue or organ

they are the same as embryonic stem cells

undifferentiated cell, found among other differentiated cells in an organism

undifferentiated and can be any type of cell

In what way is the DNA of a nerve cell different from the DNA of a muscle cell?

The DNA is the same but different genes are turned on in each cell

The DNA is the same but each cell contains different genes

Each cell has its own unique DNA

The DNA is different, but each cell contains the same genes

any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells.

The reproductive cells of an organism.

an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism

one or more layers of densely packed cells

A germ cell or gamete is...

The reproductive cells of an organism.

any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells.

an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism

one or more layers of densely packed cells

How do stem cells know what type of cells to differentiate into?

Signals from chemicals in the organism or from the environment determine which genes will be turned on and off

The nucleus has instructions to turn some genes on and some genes off

The cell has unique DNA that determines what the cell will become.

The diagram shows the process of cell specialization from a single stem cell. Which of the following statements is true about the process of specialization.

Even though all the cells in an organism come from one single cell, they can specialize into different cell types

Specilized cells (blood, skin, nervous etc) cannot be produced from a single stem cell

Specilized cells are produced immediately following fertilization

Sincce all the cells in an organism come from one single cell, they must all have the same structure and function

Which is NOT an example of cell differentiation?

A leaf cell divides as a plant leaf grows

Bone marrow cells are used to repair damage to heart tissues

A fertilized egg to cell developed into an embryo

Stemm cells from bone marrow develop into blood cells
