What is the process of making an organism from a single cell?
A multicellular organism develops from a single cell (the zygote) into a collection of many different cell types, organized into tissues and organs. Development involves cell division, body axis formation, tissue and organ development, and cell differentiation (gaining a final cell type identity).
What process allows a single cell to grow into a multicellular organism?
The cell proliferates to produce many more cells that result in the multicellular organism. The process starts with a single fertilized cell that increasingly divides to form many more cells. In the process, the genome causes the cells specialize through selective gene expression.
How does a single cell develop into a baby?
How do cells develop in the fetus? Answer 1: Once a sperm and egg unite to form a fertilized egg, a baby starts to develop. This zygote (which is just one cell) quickly starts to divide, so that one cell becomes two, two cells becomes four, four cells become eight, etc.
What is it called when a cell has the ability to change into another type of cell?
A stem cell is a cell with the unique ability to develop into specialised cell types in the body. In the future they may be used to replace cells and tissues that have been damaged or lost due to disease.
Which 3 processes happen as a multicellular organism grows?
The four essential processes by which a multicellular organism is made: cell proliferation, cell specialization, cell interaction, and cell movement. In a developing embryo, all these processes are happening at once, in a kaleidoscopic variety of different ways in different parts of the organism.
What do you call the process in which cells and organisms produce other cells and organisms of the same kind?
reproduction, process by which organisms replicate themselves.
What name is given to a group of cells with similar structure and function?
Tissue
Tissue is a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit. Primary types of body tissues include epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues.
