6. why is mitosis important to somatic cells?

  • to double the number of cells
  • to ensure no loss of genetic information
  • to keep it haploid
  • to keep the chromosome number at 42

7. which cells are formed from the stem cells in bone marrow

  • nerve cells
  • blood cells
  • skin cells
  • embryonic cells

8. An embryonic stem cell, which is capable of becoming any type of cell type is described as?

  • awesome
  • pluripotent
  • totipotent
  • multipotent

9. How do cells become differentiated?

  • they change how they are made
  • they switch all the genes off.
  • genes that express proteins important for the function of that cell remain switched on
  • All the genes are kept switched on
