Given what we know, we can confirm that the cell theory states that all cells come from preexisting cells despite the cells in a multicellular organism being so different from one another due to cellular differentiation.

<h3>What do we know about cellular differentiation?</h3>
  • Cellular differentiation involves the selective expression of DNA.
  • When only specific parts of the DNA sequence are expressed, and thus only specific proteins are formed, a cell can differentiate.
  • This allows the cells to specialize themselves despite all of them containing the same DNA.
  • Over time, this has allowed all cells, despite sharing a common origin, to become vastly different.

Therefore, given that cellular differentiation controls what genes of a cell are expressed in order to allow the cell to specialize itself into a specific cell type, this explains why even though all cells share a common origin, they can all be very distinct.

The major function of the placenta is to
beks73 [17]

Answer:

(2) exchange food, oxygen, and waste between

mother and fetus

Explanation:

In most mammals like humans, the fetus produced as a result of the fertilization of the sperm and egg, develops in the uterus or womb of the female. However, this developing fetus cannot yet fend for what it requires for survival and is still dependent on the mother e.g nutrients, oxygen etc. How do this substances get to the fetus? Here comes the role of the PLACENTA.

Placenta is an organ in the uterus that serves as a connection between the mother and the fetus in her womb. The placenta enables the mother to pass digested nutrients to the fetus and exchange gases (oxygen and Carbondioxide) between them via the umbilical cord. The placenta also enables the mother remove waste produced by the fetus into her bloodstream.
