The process of cell modification from a generalized cell to one that performs a specific task is called:
Cells of an undifferentiated type that are capable of becoming specialized are called:
What type of organisms have differentiated cells?
Because of mitosis, all cells differentiated or not (except for sex cells) have _____________ DNA.
Meiosis is a process that makes , which are genetically cells needed for reproduction.
Mitosis is a process that makes , which are genetically cells needed for reproduction.

|---|---|---|---|
Produces cells that are genetically unique | |||
Makes new cells from old cells | |||
Starts with one parent cell | |||
Crossing-over occurs | |||
Chromosome number remains the same | |||
Undergoes 2 divisions |
A cell with 10 chromosomes undergoes mitosis.
How many daughter cells are created?
Each daughter cell has

If a cancerous mutation occurs in a stem cell in the bone marrow, what process does the stem cell go through that would cause the differentiated cells it produces to also be cancerous?
Consider:
How does mitosis and cell differentiation work together to produce and maintain a complex organism?
Please be sure to include both of the roles - the role of mitosis and the role of cellular differentiation- in producing and maintaining complex organisms.
