Question
pick all the ways stem cells and differentiation work together to make special tissues. (select the three correct answers.) (1 point) stem cells divide, giving cells for specialization. multipotent cells develop into every cell type. differentiation turns on specific genes in cells. mitosis creates different cells for jobs. gene expression guides cells toward a job. special cells change back to become stem cells.
- Stem cells divide (through processes like mitosis) to produce more cells. Some of these daughter cells can then undergo specialization. So, "Stem cells divide, giving cells for specialization" is correct.
- Differentiation is a process where specific genes are activated in a cell. This activation leads the cell to develop a particular function and structure. So, "Differentiation turns on specific genes in cells" is correct.
- Gene expression (which is regulated during differentiation) determines what role (or job) a cell will have. So, "Gene expression guides cells toward a job" is correct.
- Multipotent cells can develop into a limited number of cell types (not every cell type). So, "Multipotent cells develop into every cell type" is incorrect.
- Mitosis itself just produces identical daughter cells (in terms of genetic content). Differentiation (not just mitosis) is what creates cells with different jobs. So, "Mitosis creates different cells for jobs" is incorrect.
- Specialized cells generally do not change back to become stem cells (this is a very rare or non - typical process in normal tissue development). So, "Special cells change back to become stem cells" is incorrect.
