10 Questions
What does the process of differentiation determine in a cell?
Whether it will spend its life as a nerve cell or a muscle cell
How is cell differentiation controlled in mammals like humans?
By a number of interacting factors in the embryo
At what point do adult cells generally reach complete differentiation?
When they can no longer become other types of cells
In some organisms, how is a cell's role determined?
At a specific point in the course of development
What kind of process is differentiation in mammals compared to other organisms?
More flexible
What is the ultimate identity determined by the process of differentiation in a cell?
Whether it will spend its life as a nerve cell or a muscle cell.
In some organisms, when is a cell's role rigidly determined?
At a specific point in the course of development.
What controls cell differentiation in mammals like humans?
A complex set of interacting factors in the embryo.
At what point do adult cells generally reach complete differentiation?
When they can no longer become other types of cells.
What is the flexibility level of cell differentiation in mammals compared to some other organisms?
Mammals have a more flexible process compared to other organisms.
Explore the process of cell differentiation in mammals, focusing on the flexible process controlled by interacting factors in the embryo. Learn about how cells determine their ultimate identity and function within the body.
