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

specialized brain cells and specialized skin cells

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.

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

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

SCNT stands for . . .

Somatic Cell Natural Transcription

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.

undifferentiated and can be any type of cell

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

embryonic stem cells can differentiate into what kinds of cells

all types of specialized cells in the body

only cells derived from tissues

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.

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

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

A somatic cell contains _______________

a complete set of chromosomes coming from both parents

Half the number of chromosomes coming from one parent

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.

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

Specilized cells are produced immediately following fertilization

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

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