Cell Division and Differentiation

Define cell division

Define cell differentiation

Explain how cell division and differentiation are related

What is cell division also commonly referred to as?

• Mitosis or Meiosis
• Protein Synthesis
• Cellular Respiration
• DNA Replication

What is cell differentiation also commonly referred to as?

• cell replication
• cell division
• cell specialization
• cell growth

What are totipotent stem cells?

• Totipotent stem cells can only form embryonic tissues.
• Totipotent stem cells are limited to specific cell types.
• Totipotent stem cells cannot differentiate into any cell type.
• Totipotent stem cells can differentiate into any cell type, including embryonic tissues.

Which stem cell can become any cell in the body except for extraembryonic tissue?

• Pluripotent stem cell
• Multipotent stem cell
• Totipotent stem cell
• Unipotent stem cell

Which stem cell is found in only adult cells, and is somewhat limited to what it can become?

• Multipotent stem cells

• Pluripotent stem cells
• Totipotent stem cells

• Unipotent stem cells

Which type of stem cell can only turn into one type of cell?

• Multipotent stem cells
• Pluripotent stem cells
• Totipotent stem cells
• Unipotent stem cells

Which of the following is true about cell differentiation?

• Different cells contain different DNA, which leads to specialization

• All cells eventually reach G0 and stop dividing

• Different cells have the same DNA, but express different genes--leading to specialization

• Even though a cell is differentiated, it can always turn into another cell type
