Detailed explanation-1: -Differentiation is the process by which unspecialized cells become specialized to carry out distinct functions. 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-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 specialization, also known as cell differentiation, is the process through which “generic” or “common” cells transform into specialized cells with defined tasks. Generic embryonic cells differentiate into specialized cells through cell differentiation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cell differentiation is a process by which a particular cell becomes specific or specialized.
Detailed explanation-5: -To summarise: Unspecialized cells become specialised by external stimuli that alter gene expression-turn some genes on and some off. Following transcription and production of the mRNA, translation produces proteins that are able to determine the cell’s structure hence function.
