The process of differentiation is(1 point)
Responses

a process by which cells divide.
a process by which cells divide.

a process by which cells become specialized.
a process by which cells become specialized.

a process by which cells die.
a process by which cells die.

a process by which cells repair themselves.
a process by which cells repair themselves .

The correct response is:

a process by which cells become specialized.

Differentiation is the process through which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type.

What is unique about stem cells?(1 point)
Responses

They are unspecialized.
They are unspecialized.

They are differentiated.
They are differentiated.

They are only found in embryos.
They are only found in embryos.

They are only found in plants.

The correct response is:

They are unspecialized.

Stem cells have the unique ability to differentiate into various specialized cell types and can divide to produce more stem cells.

How do cells become specialized? (1 point)
Responses

Mitosis creates specialized cells for different purposes.
Mitosis creates specialized cells for different purposes.

Mitosis creates genetically unique cells that can do different tasks.
Mitosis creates genetically unique cells that can do different tasks.

Genetically identical cells undergo differentiation to make them genetically unique.
Genetically identical cells undergo differentiation to make them genetically unique.

Genetically identical cells undergo differentiation to alter gene expression.

The correct response is:

Genetically identical cells undergo differentiation to alter gene expression.

Cells become specialized through differentiation, which involves changes in gene expression that enable them to develop distinct structures and functions.

How do cells respond if a complex organism is injured?(1 point)
Responses

Cells work to repair the injured area through meiosis.
Cells work to repair the injured area through meiosis.

Cells form a blastocyst that contributes to the healing of the injury.
Cells form a blastocyst that contributes to the healing of the injury.

Cells rush to the damaged area, proliferate through mitosis, and work to repair the injury.
Cells rush to the damaged area, proliferate through mitosis, and work to repair the injury.

Nearby cells change into stem cells in order to repair the injury.
Nearby cells change into stem cells in order to repair the injury.

The correct response is:

Cells rush to the damaged area, proliferate through mitosis, and work to repair the injury.

When an organism is injured, cells migrate to the damaged area and undergo mitosis to proliferate, helping to repair the injury.
