Answer:

We mean that a cell changes to another type of cell.

Explanation:

<em>Stem cells </em>are a type of cell that has the potential to become a specialized cell, this change or differentiation, is possible thanks to the activation or deactivation of certain genes that promote (or inhibit) the expression of certain proteins that origins different types of cells (fmuscle cells, osteocytes, neurons). This differentiation happens when the cells receive cues internally ( through signals or contact between a group of cells and another or through transcription factors) or externally.

Then, a differentiated cell is a cell that had gone under the previously described process.

Which structure is less likely to suffer severe damage during an earthquake: a high-rise, steel- frame hotel built on sediment,

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is - A wood-frame house built on bedrock.

Explanation:

An earthquake would damage a steel-frame building built on sediment in comparison of a wooden house built on the bedrock due to the fact that waves of an earthquake do not go through solid things easily such as the earth core or the bedrock land rather than reclaimed land or sediments.

So, the bedrock will shake less than the hotel or heave building built on sediment. A house that made up of wooden-frame would shake only whereas the steel-frame might damage more.
