Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The process during which young, immature (unspecialized) cells take on individual characteristics and reach their mature (specialized) form and function.
Detailed explanation-2: -In order for a cell to differentiate into its specialized form and function, it need only manipulate those genes (and thus those proteins) that will be expressed, and not those that will remain silent. The primary mechanism by which genes are turned “on” or “off” is through transcription factors.
