What is Cell differentiation?
The process of cell divison
The process of cells becoming specialized for specific functions
The process of cells becoming identical
The process of cells becoming mutated
Which of the following best describes stem cells?
Cells that have already differentiated
Cells that cannot undergo cell division
Cells that have been mutated
Original human cells that are able to develop into specialized cells
What is gene regulation?
DNA Replication
The formation of new genes within the DNA
Uncontrolled cell growth with damaged DNA
The expression of genes to in order to create cell types
Which of the following best describes Specialized Cells?
They can divide rapidly
They are identical to all other cells in the organism
They have specific structures and functions
They are only found in cancerous cells
Specialized cells such as muscle, blood, or nerve cells are caused by cell differentiation led by
Environmental Factors
nucleus
ribosomes
plasma membrane
Cells differentiate to perform different functions because
all genes are turned on inside that cell
all genes are turned off inside that cell
different genes are turned on inside that cell
different genes are turned on or off inside that cell
During the process of differentiation
all sections of DNA are activated to determine the structure of a body cell
ONLY ONE section of DNA are deactivated to determine the structure of a body cell
only specific sections of DNA sequence are activated to determine the structure and functions of a body cell
Unspecialized cells in our body that has the ability to differentiate into different types of cells are called
specialized cells
differentiated cells
nerve cells
stem cells
What is the term for cells that have the potential to differentiate into various cells types?
Stem Cells
Cancer Cells
Zygotes
Specialized Cells
