Skeletal Muscle Cells are Not Typical Cells Because ____

Question

Skeletal muscle cells are not typical cells because ____.  
A) groups of them fuse in the embryo to form multinucleated fibers
B) they are smooth
C) they are hydrostatic
D) they do not respond to stimuli
E) they operate independently from all other body systems

Accepted Answer

Skeletal muscle cells fuse together during development to form long, multinucleated fibers. This is not typical of most cells, which have only one nucleus. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Options B, C, D, and E are all incorrect because they do not accurately describe skeletal muscle cells.
