of lipids with polar heads
8. What is the process that makes cells with the same genetic
material develop into specific cell types?
A. meiosis
B. prophase

10. Cell death associated with inflammation is known as:
, A. dysplasia
B. apoptosis
C. necrosis
D. mitosis: necrosis

as:
A. metaplasia
B. dysplasia
C. hyperplasia
D. anaplasia: Metaplasia
12. What are the similarities and differences between mitosis and
meiosis?: Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two
genetically identical daughter cells developing from a single parent
cell.
Mitosis is used by single-celled organisms to reproduce; it is also
used for the organic growth of tissues, fibers, and membranes.
