Which of the following statements is true regarding specialization among cells? a. all cells specialize to some degree. b. specialization leads to greater autonomy among cells. c. specialized cells may lose the ability to reproduce. d. less complex organisms are more likely to have specialized cells.

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

Specialization is the fundamental property of the multicellular organism which is related to the complexity of the organism. The specialization can be exhibited by unicellular organisms like bacteria to form biofilms.

This specialization in the multicellular organism becomes permanent through the process of differentiation. Cells attain a particular function depending on the environment they are present as well as the signals from the adjacent cells.  The cells work in cooperation and lose the ability to divide and reproduce after they get differentiated to perform a function.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

label a cell membrane

label b cytoplasm

label c ribosomes

label d dna

the membrane forms the outside of the cell

cytoplasm is the liquid within

ribosomes are the components within that distribute rna

the dna is the genetic make-up
