The correct answer is: Differentiate

Every cell in a multicellular organism has an identical genome, and yet, there are various cell types. These varieties are the result of highly controlled modifications in gene expression (different sets of genes must be turned on and off).

Cellular differentiation almost never involves a change in the DNA sequence itself. Therefore, different cells can have very different physical characteristics regardless of having the same genome.

<u>Answer</u>: Differentiate

<u>Explanation</u>: Our bodies come from the fusion of two sex cells that provide the us with a full chromosome set specific to our species. Thus, all the cells in our bodies originate from a single diploid cell formed by the fusion of two gametes.

Inside that cell is the complete blueprint for our bodies encoded in our genes. However, as this cell divides, its offspring will start to fullfill different functions (skin cells, smell receptors, photoreceptors etc.). This is achieved by activating only a specific set of genes. The rest of the genes encoding for other cell types are inactive.

Thus, the ability to turn different sets of genes on or off enables cells to differentiate.

While assessing a neonate’s temperature, the nurse observes a drop in the body temperature. what is the most appropriate reason
Novosadov [1.4K]

The right answer is decreased nonshivering thermogenesis.

The increase in metabolism allows an increase in the production of heat. Newborns use their brown fat as a source of heat, it is a non shivering thermogenesis.

The second mechanism for increasing heat in humans is increased muscle tone and shivering, but in the newborn there is no chill.
