Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Differentiation is the process by which unspecialized cells acquire specific identities, either as different cell types during embryonic development or as mature, specialized cells during tissue repair and homeostasis in adult organisms. Gametogenesis is the process by which specialized cells, called gametes, are produced for sexual reproduction. Fertilization is the fusion of two gametes to form a zygote, which then undergoes cell division and differentiation to form an embryo. Gastrulation is a key stage in embryonic development in which the embryo folds in on itself to form three germ layers, which will give rise to all of the body's tissues and organs.
