How can this part of the bone be described? How can the student improve the diagram to show that cell differentiation is occurring?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the description of a model part of a bone and how to improve a diagram showing stem cell differentiation. The first part seeks to categorize a specific component of the bone, while the second part is focused on enhancing a diagram to illustrate a biological process.
Answer
Cell; add gene activation/repression markers.
The part of the bone can be described as a cell. The student can improve the diagram by adding markers for which genes are activated or repressed in the stem cell.
Answer for screen readers
The part of the bone can be described as a cell. The student can improve the diagram by adding markers for which genes are activated or repressed in the stem cell.
More Information
The labelled parts—nucleus and cell membrane—are characteristic of cells. To show cell differentiation effectively, indicating gene activation/repression highlights the changes in cellular function.
Tips
Confusing the function of arrows and the importance of gene expression changes in representing differentiation.
