Question

Which cell type undergoes terminal differentiation?(1 point) Responses stem cells stem cells hair cells hair cells heart cells heart cells epithelial cells

Answer 1

Terminal differentiation typically refers to the process where stem cells or progenitor cells mature into their final, specialized forms that will no longer divide or change. Among the options provided, **hair cells**, **heart cells**, and **epithelial cells** can undergo terminal differentiation. However, if we are selecting a single cell type that is commonly associated with this process, we would refer to **hair cells** or **heart cells**, as they are specialized cells that have undergone terminal differentiation from progenitor or precursor cells.

If you need to specify only one type, you might choose **hair cells** as they are often cited in discussions of sensory cell differentiation.
