Why do heart cells have different characteristics than skin cells?(1 point)
Responses

Heart cells have different DNA than skin cells.
Heart cells have different DNA than skin cells.

Heart cells reproduce by cell differentiation.
Heart cells reproduce by cell differentiation.

Heart cells reproduce by mitosis.
Heart cells reproduce by mitosis.

The correct response is: Heart cells express different genes than skin cells.

This is because, despite having the same DNA, different types of cells express different sets of genes, leading to their unique characteristics and functions.

Which change would likely result from proliferation?(1 point)
Responses

an organism's cells multiply many times adding mass to the organism
an organism's cells multiply many times adding mass to the organism

an organism's cells combine many times adding mass to the organism
an organism's cells combine many times adding mass to the organism

an organism's cells multiply once adding mass to the organism
an organism's cells multiply once adding mass to the organism

an organism's cells combine once adding mass to the organism

The correct response is: an organism's cells multiply many times adding mass to the organism.

Proliferation refers to the process by which cells multiply, contributing to the growth and mass of the organism.

The correct response is: Stem cells differentiate to provide specialized cells that replace damaged tissue.

During the healing process, stem cells can differentiate into various specialized cells that help repair and regenerate damaged tissues.

Are your heart cells the same as your brain cells? Why or why not?(1 point)
Responses

Yes, during mitosis, the resulting daughter cells are identical which means that all cells in the body are the same.

Yes, the heart cell and the brain cell have the same function, therefore they are identical.
Yes, the heart cell and the brain cell have the same function, therefore they are identical.

No, heart cells are stem cells that replicate and create brain cells, therefore they are two different types of cells.
No, heart cells are stem cells that replicate and create brain cells, therefore they are two different types of cells.

No, different sections of the cells' DNA are "tuned on" causing heart cells to have different characteristics from brain cells.

The correct response is: No, different sections of the cells' DNA are "tuned on" causing heart cells to have different characteristics from brain cells.

Although both heart cells and brain cells originate from the same DNA, they express different genes, which leads to their distinct functions and characteristics.
