4) 4. What does this high level of differentiation mean for the cell?
A
D. The cell has a specific function, but under the right conditions the cell can become a few other types of cell.
B
B. The cell has a specific function and cannot become any other type of cell, but it can still reproduce all other cell types

A
B. It increases genetic instability within the species.
B
A. It increases genetic uniformity within the species.
