When bone marrow cells go through the cell cycle, the two identical daughter cells that result from mitosis have very different functions. Following G1, one daughter cell leaves the cell cycle and becomes a specialized blood cell. The second daughter cell remains in the marrow as a stem cell and repeats the cell cycle. What molecule is responsible for determining the fate of each cell? A) ATP B) DNA C) catalase D) glucose

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) DNA.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) makes up the genetic makeup of any cell or organism.

Controlled modifications in the gene expression of a cell are responsible for the changes required for cell differentiation.

Cell differentiation is the process by which cell changes and mature to become a specialized cell.

Cell undergoes various changes such as cell shape, size, metabolic activity, membrane potential et cetera in order to become a specialized cell. All these characters are controlled by the genome of the cell.
