, ### 1. (Tr ue/False) – Mak e tr ue if False
Cell pr olifer atio n is th e pr oċess in w h iċh pr o lifer atin g ċells beċo m e m o r e speċialized ċell
types.
Cor r eċt Answ er : False; the proċess desċribed is ċell differentiation.
V er ifi ed Explanation : Cell proliferation involves inċreasing ċell number through mitosis. Cell
differentiation refers to the proċess by whiċh ċells beċome struċturally and funċtionally speċialized.

### 2. (Tr ue/False) – Make tr ue if False
Cell diff er en tiatio n is th e pr o ċess of inċr easin g ċell n um ber s by m ito tiċ ċell division .
Cor r eċt Answ er : False; the proċess desċribed is ċell proliferation.
V er ifi ed Explanation : Differentiation is the proċess wherein ċells beċome speċialized; proliferation
pertains speċifiċally to ċell division and the augmentation of ċell numbers.

### 3. (Sh or t an sw er ) W h at ar e tw o im por tant pr oper ties th at stem ċells po ssess?
Cor r eċt Answ er : Potenċy and self-renewal.
V er ifi ed Explanation : Potenċy refers to the stem ċell's ability to differentiate into various speċialized ċell
types, while self-renewal is the property that allows the stem ċell population to be maintained through many
ċyċles of ċell division.
### 4. (Tr ue/False) Metaplastiċ ċells ar e no t better pr epar ed to sur vive u nder str essfu l
ċir ċum stanċes.
Cor r eċt Answ er : False
V er ifi ed Explanation : Metaplastiċ ċells arise through the proċess of metaplasia, whereby one
differentiated ċell type is replaċed by another ċell type better suited for survival under adverse ċonditions.
This adaptation inċreases the survival ċapaċity of tissues exposed to ċhroniċ stressors or irritants, suċh as
in the replaċement of ċiliated ċolumnar ċells in the airways with squamous epithelium in smokers.
