Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cell differentiation refers to the process by which a cell changes from a less specialized type to a more specialized type, both in terms of structure and function. During differentiation, the expression of certain genes is turned on or off, allowing the cell to develop specific features and perform specific functions. This process is essential for the development and maintenance of all multicellular organisms.
