a process by which cells die.

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

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

a process by which cells become specialized.

The correct response is:

a process by which cells become specialized.

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

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

They are only found in plants.
They are only found in plants.

They are unspecialized.
They are unspecialized.

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

They are differentiated.

The correct response is:

They are unspecialized.

Stem cells have the unique ability to remain unspecialized and have the potential to differentiate into various specialized cell types.

How do cells become specialized? (1 point)
Responses

Genetically identical cells undergo differentiation to alter gene expression.
Genetically identical cells undergo differentiation to alter gene expression.

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

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

Mitosis creates genetically unique cells that can do different tasks.

The correct response is:

Genetically identical cells undergo differentiation to alter gene expression.

This means that, although the cells start as genetically identical, they can express different genes, leading to specialization.

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

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.

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

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.

This response describes the typical process of how cells respond to injury in a complex organism.
