Detailed explanation-1: -In developmental biology, cellular differentiation is the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type. Differentiation occurs numerous times during the development of a multicellular organism as the organism changes from a single zygote to a complex system of tissues and cell types.

Detailed explanation-2: -A multicellular organism develops from a single cell (the zygote) into a collection of many different cell types, organized into tissues and organs. Development involves cell division, body axis formation, tissue and organ development, and cell differentiation (gaining a final cell type identity).

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: -The four essential processes by which a multicellular organism is made: cell proliferation, cell specialization, cell interaction, and cell movement. In a developing embryo, all these processes are happening at once, in a kaleidoscopic variety of different ways in different parts of the organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cell differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized in order to perform different functions.
