UWM BIO 152 EXAM 4 WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS 2025
Determination correct answers >> Sets the fate of a cell
(what it will become)
Cell fates become progressively more restricted during
development
Differentiation correct answers >> Modification of cells to
perform their assigned function
Morphogenesis correct answers >> Organization and spatial
distribution of cells into the body
"Origin of form"
Determined by morphogen gradient
Growth correct answers >> Increase in body size by cell
division and cell expansion
Totipotent cell correct answers >> "All capable"
Can differentiate into any cell type including new embryonic stem
cells
Pluripotent correct answers >> "Many capable"
Stem cells that can differentiate into most cell types, but not new
embryos
, Multipotent correct answers >> Can differentiate into several
related cell types
Unipotent correct answers >> Can produce only more of their
own cell types
Not stem cells
Stem cells two defining features correct answers >> Self-
renewal
Capable of differentiating into more specialized cells
What are the embryonic stem cells? correct answers >>
Totipotent and Pluripotent
What are the adult stem cells? correct answers >>
Multipotent
What are the 2 ways a cell can be determined? correct
answers >> Asymmetric Distribution of Cytoplasmic Factors
(Internal)
Inductive Signals (External)
How is a cell internally determined? correct answers >> Cell
divided while its contents are unevenly distributed, giving one of
the cells more or all of the contents and thus a different cell fate
How is a cell determined externally? correct answers >> A
signal is passed from one cell to another
