Question
which cell type undergoes terminal differentiation? (1 point)
epithelial cells
stem cells
hair cells
heart cells
Terminal differentiation is the process by which a cell becomes permanently committed to a specific function and loses the ability to divide further. Epithelial cells are already specialized and do not typically undergo further differentiation. Stem cells are undifferentiated and can give rise to various cell types. Hair cells are specialized sensory cells in the ear and do not undergo terminal differentiation. Heart cells, also known as cardiomyocytes, are terminally differentiated cells that have a specific function in the heart and do not divide further.
