Stem cells become specialized cells such as blood cells because certain genes are activated and cause a particular cell to develop (Option B). It is called differentiation.

<h3>What is cellular differentiation?</h3>

Cellular differentiation refers to the process by which certain genes are expressed in a particular cell lineage.

Cellular differentiation leads to the formation of mature specialized cells that perform specific functions.

For example, immature hematopoietic stem cells become differentiated to produce mature red blood cells.

Organisms that have a physical trait that makes it easier for them to access food supplies are unlikely to pass on that trait to
JulsSmile [24]

The right answer is false.

All the physical characteristics of an individual, which are at the basis of genetic characters (sometimes even epigenetic), are transmitted to his offspring.

Classical or monogenic Mendelian inheritance is based on the transmission of a single gene in a dominant, recessive mode, linked to the sex chromosome X (or Y), or more rarely mitochondrial (extranuclear) chromosome.

At what stage of erythropoiesis is the developing red blood cell released into the circulation
Lisa [10]
Erythropoiesis is the formation of the red blood cells a process which takes place in the bone marrow. All blood cells are formed in the bone marrow, a soft, highly cellular tissue that fills the internal cavities of the long bones. It takes place in 8 stages where the first seven steps takes place within the bone marrow and after the 7th step the red blood cell is released into the blood stream as reticulocyte which then matures to erythrocyte after 1-2 days.
