●
Multicellular organisms have specialized cells
●
Specialized cells are different in structure and function
●
Cells become specialized during interphase of G0
●
The process in which a cell becomes specialized is called
Cell Differentiation
●
Stem Cells areNOT specialized yet

Multiple Choice
Cell cycle checkpoints are able to stop mutated cells. Mutated cells are cancerous. If the checkpoints are damaged, they are unable destroy (stop) cancerous cells from dividing. Compared to normal cell division,
cancer cell cycle is faster
cancer cell cycle is uncontrollable
cancer cell is continous
all of the above

Multiple Choice
What is cell differentiation?
The process where unspecialized cells become different in structure and function.
When DNA controls the cell cycle.
The ability of cells to make more cells.
The ability of cells to maintain homeostasis.
17
Multiple Choice
CRISPR-Cas9 is a genetic modification technique that edits parts of the genome of an organism. Using this technique scientists can add, remove, or modify sections of the DNA sequence.
How can scientists use this technique to control gene expression?
By activating or deactivating specific genes
By calculating the number of genes different organisms produce
By identifying how closely related one individual is to another
By determining the number of chromosomes in an organism
18
Multiple Choice
Human bone, muscle, and nerve cells all contain the same number of chromosomes with the same complement of genes. What enables these cells to perform specialized activities?
The ability of some cells to remove unnecessary DNA sequences
The regulation of gene expression within each cell type
The mutation of genes within each cell type
The use of different methods of cell division

* Process by which a gene produces its product and the
product carries out its function.
Describe the relationship between:
GENES AND PROTEINS
A gene is a segment of DNA
that codes for a particularprotein.
22
*Some genes are:
1. expressed at all times
2. expressed in certain environmental conditions.
3. expressed at particular times.
4. expressed only in certain kinds of cells.
Gene Expression is a REGULATED process!
