Question

Cells that are terminally differentiated:_________

a. will undergo apoptosis within a few days.
b. can no longer undergo cell division.
c. are unable to move.
d. no longer produce RNAs.

Answer 1

b. can no longer undergo cell division.

Step-by-step explanation:

Terminally differentiated cells are those cells completely specialized in their functions that have lost their ability to proliferate. They are cells that have a unique, very specific, function, whereas undifferentiated cells do not have specialized functions that serve to replace old and dead cells. Examples of terminally differentiated cells include skin cells derived from epithelial stem cells, red blood cells and white blood cells generated from hematopoietic stem cells, etc.
