Cell Cycle, Cancer, and Stem Cells

Stem cells are

• cells that grow uncontrollably.
• undifferentiated and can develop into many types of cells.
• cells that never go through cell division.
• only found in embryos.

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

• Muscle cells are produced by the brain, but blood cells are produced by the heart. 
• Different genes are activated in muscle cells than in blood cells. 
• Muscles cells experience different environmental influences than blood cells. 
• A mutation occurs during the development of muscle cells but not in blood cells.
