HOW DO GENES WORK IN CELLS? GIVE AN EXAMPLE.
1. Every cell contains all genes but certain genes are
expressed or switched so that it can perform a
particular function.
2. The cells in our nose are called olfactory receptor cells
they express one of the genes to make one type of
receptor to detect one type of odorant so that we can
distinguish smells.

AND WHAT MAKES THEM ATYPICAL?

form more of the same cell indefinitely and differentiate
into specialized cells. E.g. nerve, liver and cardiac.
WHAT DIFFERENT TYPES OF STEM CELLS ARE
THERE?
Totipotent (cells formed following fertilization): Can
become any type of cell
and form complete
organisms.
Pluripotent (embryonic):
Can become a body cell.
Multipotent (umbilical):
