Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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 caused by changes in gene expression. This occurs when different signaling molecules in the environment activate or repress different transcription factors that are necessary to express certain genes in the DNA.
