- Throughout life
- Seed stage only
-
What does a cell acquire as it differentiates for a specific function?
- Sub-cellular structures
- Extra chromosomes
- A rigid cell wall

-
What is the process where cells gain different structures to perform specific roles?
- Differentiation
- Osmosis
- Respiration
- Fermentation
-
Cell differentiation allows specialised cells to form what structures?
- Free plasmids
- Identical spores
- Simple clones
- Tissues
-
Early differentiation in animals primarily allows the formation of what?

- Ribosome count
- Membrane thickness
-
What capability do plant meristem cells retain throughout the plant's life?
- Immediate cell death

- Continuous cell differentiation
- No cell division
-
Which plant cells retain the ability to differentiate throughout life?
- Xylem cells

- Phloem cells
-
What do differentiated cells group together to form in an organism?
- Tissues
- Organelles
- Organ systems
- Cytoplasm
-
Why is cell division in mature animals mainly restricted to repair and replacement?
