Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dimorphic cell population, where there are two distinct cell populations with different sizes and color characteristics, is the phenomenon described in this scenario. Extramedullary hematopoiesis refers to hematopoietic activity occurring outside of the bone marrow, nuclear-cytoplasmic asynchrony refers to a mismatch between the size of the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a cell, and monoclonal cell population refers to a population of cells that are all derived from a single clone or cell lineage.
