Cell Differentiation and Specialization

Question 12 • HVA 26-27 IM Biology A

Which lists the steps of differentiation of neuron development?

Answer
A
neuron undergoes mitosis, two identical daughter cells are produced, daughter cells divide to produce stem cells
B
neuron undergoes mitosis, two daughter cells are produced, one daughter cell is a stem cell, one daughter cell is identical to neuron
C
stem cell undergoes mitosis, two identical daughter cells are produced, daughter cells divide to produce neurons
D
stem cell undergoes mitosis, two daughter cells are produced, one daughter cell is a neuron, one daughter cell is identical to stem cell

Explanation

Neuron development begins with a stem cell, not a mature neuron. The stem cell divides to produce two daughter cells: one remains a stem cell, while the other differentiates into a neuron. Therefore, the correct choice is “stem cell undergoes mitosis, two daughter cells are produced, one daughter cell is a neuron, one daughter cell is identical to stem cell.”
