Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process that transforms developing cells into specialized cell with different structures and functions: ____
A
Differentiation
B
Fertilization
C
Cleavage
D
Reproduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell differentiation is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells. This occurs through a process called gene expression.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stem cell differentiation involves the changing of a cell to a more specialized cell type, involving a switch from proliferation to specialization. This involves a succession of alterations in cell morphology, membrane potential, metabolic activity and responsiveness to certain signals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized in order to perform different functions. Multicellular organisms begin as just one single cell-a fertilized egg.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is cell differentiation. Cell differentiation is the process by which proliferating cells are transformed into more specialized cell types. Cells proliferate and differentiate to change from one cell type to another or are transformed into more specialized cell types.
