After fertilization, a zygote divides into undifferentiated, or identical, cells. Each undifferentiated cell is then directed by its nucleus to become a specific type of cell. Which statement is most likely the purpose for this process?

Cell specialization is necessary to form tissues.

Cell reproduction results in tissue repair through mitosis.

Embryos are cells of the same species that are related to a common ancestor.

Cell specialization/differentiation is a process by which certain cells in an organism become very good at a certain jobs, which will help the whole organism survive. Select ALL the following that are true about cell specialization. (select 3)

Cells in multicellular organisms may contain unique cell structures or proteins to complete their functions.

Unicellular organisms have no specialization, and must complete all these survival tasks by themselves.

Genes turn on in cells to make proteins they need to do their jobs.

Each cell in the human body needs every single gene to function.

The more classification levels that two organisms share,

the more related they become because of many shared characteristics.

the closer together on earth they live.

the easier it is to tell them apart.

The bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana , is most closely related to the

northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens

spotted chorus frog, Pseudacris clarki

asian flying frog, Polypedates leucomystax

The American lobster ( Homarus americanus ) is most closely related to which of the following organisms?

Common lobster ( Homarus gammarus )

Cape lobster ( Homarinus capensis )

Patagonian lobsterette ( Thymops birsteini )
