Q

Describe Diferentiation.

A

As cells divide, changes in gene expression result in differences between cells which results in cell specialization.

In differentiated cells, certain genes are expressed at particular times, but other genes may not be expressed at all.

Q

Process of Development - Cell Division

What happens to a zygote during cleavage?

A human body contains more than ______ types of differentiated cells.

A

210

19
Q

Process of Development - Cell Differentiation

Differentiated cells are distinguishable from one another by

A

particular proteins that they synthesize, their morphologies, and their specific functions.

20
Q

Process of Development - Cell Differentiation

The molecular “decision” process by which a cell becomes destined for a particular developmental pathway. This occurs before overt differentiation and can be a stepwise process.

A

Cell Determination

21
Q

Process of Development - Cell Differentiation

Molecular process to determine specialization of a cell is called:

A

cell determination

22
Q

Process of Development - Cell Differentiation

Used to understand determination and timing of determination

A

Transplanting studies, or Tracking determination

23
Q

Process of Development - Cell Differentiation

Describe Tracking determination.

A

Move the donor cell(s) to a different location in a host (recipient) embryo. If the cells of the transplant develop into the same type of cell as they would have if left undisturbed, then they are judged to be already determined

24
Q

Process of Development - Cell Differentiation

What are the requirements of cell determination?

A

Positional details from surrounding cells

Timing and number of cells

Need commitment from cells for a specific fate

Transcription factor changes to induce cells to a specific fate
