Detailed explanation-1: -(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-2: -Cellular differentiation is a biological process in which a less specialized cell develops or matures to possess a rather distinct form and function than it previously was. It is the process in which a cell changes into another cell type.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once a cell becomes differentiated it only expresses the genes that produce the proteins characteristic for that type of cell. Differentiated cells are important in a multicellular organism because they are able to perform a specialised function in the body. However, specialisation comes at a cost.
