Question

Biochemical function within any cell is determined largely by specific enzymes. Remember, enzymes are proteins. Different sets of genes must be turned on and off in the various cell types. This is how cells _______________. A) evolve. B) reproduce. C) differentiate. D) produce daughter cells.

Answer 1

The answer is C: Differentiate

Answer 2

The right answer is C) differentiate.

Cell differentiation is a concept of developmental biology describing the process by which cells specialize in a cellular "type". The morphology of a cell can change radically during differentiation, but the genetic material remains the same, with few exceptions.

A cell capable of differentiating into several types of cells is called pluripotent.
