When we differentiate, we recognize differences.
In biology, differentiation refers to the process where a cell that is not specialized, becomes specialized.
3
Differentiation is the process used by the human body to develop from a fertilized egg into a fetus with specialized tissues and organs.

Multiple Choice
An undifferentiated cell does not yet have a specific function.
True
False

Multiple Select
Two ways an animal egg cell is specialized are
half the total # of chromosomes
normal # of chromosomes
holds nutrients to start a new organism
has extra mitochondria for energy
8
Multiple Choice
The name for undifferentiated cells is
root cells
stem cells
leaf cells
9
Multiple Choice
Stem cells that come from a recently fertilized egg are
embryonic
adult

11
Multiple Choice
When a cell has gone through the process of specializing for a role (job) it is
stem
differentiated
non-specific
12
Multiple Choice
After a cell is specialized, it can change back to a stem cell.
True
False
13
Adult stem cells are found in bone marrow. They differentiate to become various types of blood cells. This is necessary because blood cells only live a few months.
14
Multiple Choice
Adult stem cells are found in
embryos
skin
bone marrow
15
Multiple Choice
Plant stem cells make it easy and cost-effective to grow new plants quickly.
True
False

17
Multiple Choice
People with blood disorders can be treated with stem cells from
an embryo
a healthy, adult donor

Potential uses of embryonic stem cells are (choose 2)
blood transfusions
healing paralyzed people
curing diabetes

Multiple Choice
A blastocyst is a stage in embryonic development that contains stem cells.
True
False

Multiple Choice
How much of your DNA is in most of your cells?
25%
50%
75%
100%
23
Multiple Choice
When we say genes are regulated, it means they are
on the x chromosome
turned on or off
mutated
24
Multiple Choice
Genes are turned on or off (expressed) by
transcription factors
the phospholipid membrane
bone marrow
25
Multiple Select
Factors that can affect gene expression include (choose 3)
other nearby cells
written directions
temperature
transcription factors in the cell
