CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Growing from one single cell to trillions of specialized cells that perform different functions is a process that is regulated by:
A
DNA
B
mitochondria
C
ATP
D
carbohydrates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized in order to perform different functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Listen to pronunciation. (sel DIH-feh-REN-shee-AY-shun) The process during which young, immature (unspecialized) cells take on individual characteristics and reach their mature (specialized) form and function.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell differentiation is known as a process in which cells become specialized. Pluripotency means the potential to become any cell type and is a potential observed in stem or progenitor cells at the beginning of the differentiation process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stem Cells A stem cell is an unspecialized cell that can divide without limit as needed and can, under specific conditions, differentiate into specialized cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cell differentiation is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells. This occurs through a process called gene expression. Gene expression is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off (expressed or repressed), and this is what dictates how a cell functions.
