Quizizz-Review: Cell Differentiation

Why do stomach cells function differently than skin cells?

• They contain entirely different DNA

• They use different genes in the DNA

Your red blood cells are a type of

• Specialized cell

• Embryonic stem cell

• Adult stem cell

• Induced stem cell

Why are your muscle cells different from your nerve cells?

• muscle and nerve cells have different DNA, different genes

• muscle and nerve cells have the same DNA (same genes) but different genes are turned on

• muscle and nerve cells began with the same DNA (same genes) but some different genes were destroyed by each cell type

• muscle cells are not different from nerve cells, they are the same

What process best explains how muscle cells and nerve cells can develop from the same fertilized egg?

• genetic engineering
• survival of the fittest
• differentiation
• selective breeding

What is the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells?

• Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than adult stem cells
• Adult stem cells are pluripotent, just like embryonic stem cells
• Adult stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than embryonic stem cells
• Adult stem cells grow bigger than embryonic 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 cell is specialized by having lots of mitochondria for energy and protein fibers for movement?

• skin cell

• nerve cell

• blood cell

• muscle cell

All bodily cells have the same DNA. True or False?

• True

• False

Stem cells can be obtained from

• embryos
• some adult tissues
• umbilical cord blood
• all of the above

Which type of cell is unspecialized?

• skin cell
• stem cell
• liver cell
• muscle cell
