Which of the following statements about cell differentiation is true?

O

A. Alcohol, radiation, and some antibiotics can cause cells to

become more specialized.

O

B. Alcohol, radiation, and some antibiotics can disrupt the process of

differentiation.

O

C. Alcohol, radiation, and some antibiotics can increase the rate of

differentiation.

O

D. Alcohol, radiation, and some antibiotics have no effect on the

process of differentiation.

Alcohol, radiation, and some antibiotics can disrupt the process of differentiation.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Cell differentiation is a series of actions formed where the category of the cells changes. Say for example, if the cell is of type A, then after the cell differentiation process that cell will change into type B. It often happens that when these cells comes with alcohol or antibiotics, the result may be disruption on tissue formation.

Similarly, studies were conducted to know what effect antibiotics have on cell differentiation. And the study proved that antibiotics do induce cell differentiation.
