The process by which an animal's embryonic cells specialize into specific cell types is called____________.  
A) specialization
B) differentiation

D) regeneration
E) senescence

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described is known as differentiation, the specialization of embryonic cells into specific cell types. Cloning involves the creation of genetically identical copies of an individual, regeneration involves the regrowth of lost tissue or body parts, and senescence refers to the natural process of aging in cells and organisms. None of these processes directly relate to the specialization of embryonic cells.
