What is the role of stem cells in cell differentiation?
They serve as a precursor for generalized cells
These cells can turn into specialized cells and back into generalized cells when needed
They are generalized cells that can lead to specialized cells
They are specialized cells that can lead to generalized cells
What is cell differentiation?
Process by which cells produce MORE cells.
Process by which cells become UNSPECIALIZED
Process by with cells become SPECIALIZED
Process by which cells become old and DIE
Your red blood cells are a type of
Specialized cell
Embryonic stem cell
Adult stem cell
Induced stem cell
Which type of cell can only do ONE specific job
Specialized cell
Embryonic Stem Cell
Adult Stem Cell
Induced Stem Cell
_________ instruct the cell on how and when to build the proteins that allow it to build structures and perform its specialized functions.
proteins
genes
ribosomes
mitochondria
When a gene is activated and creates a product for the cell, the process is called -
gene expression
locomotion
translation
heredity
The process of a simple cell becoming more specialized is called -
transcription
translation
cell multiplication
cell differentiation
Multicellular organism begin as one cell to undifferentiated masses of cells and ultimately have different type of cells due to
different DNA
deactivated DNA
gene expression in specific parts of DNA
There are about 200 cells in the human body. All these cells have the same DNA. True or False?
True
False
maybe
it depends upon the type
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
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
Stem cells are cells that...
grow uncontrollably
are undifferentiated
never divide
Why do stomach cells function differently than skin cells?
They contain entirely different DNA
They use different genes in the DNA
