- 1. Multiple Choice
What is cell differentiation?
The process where unspecialized cells become different in structure and function.
When DNA controls the cell cycle.
The ability of cells to make more cells.
The ability of cells to maintain homeostasis.
- 2. Multiple Choice
Which is true about Embryonic Stem Cells.
They no longer grow, their cell type is set and can not change
They are limited to the type of cell they can become
They can become any cell type in the body
They are found in adults
- 3. Multiple Choice
Cells that have the ability to become any type of specialized cell in the body are called:
cell membranes
stem cells
nerve cells
cardiac cells
- 4. Multiple Choice
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
Since all the cells in an organism come from one single cell, they must all have the same structure and function
- 5. Multiple Choice
What is one goal of cellular differentiation/specialization?
To create specialized cells to help organism maintain homeostasis.
To form many of the same cells.
To make stem cells
to make single celled organisms
