Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Gene Expression Regulates Cell Differentiation Cell differentiation is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells. This occurs through a process called gene expression.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stem cells have unspecialized capability and do not have tissue-specific structures to perform specialized functions. They can give rise to specialized cells: Stem cells go through a process called differentiation and create special types of cells (muscle, nerve, skin, etc.).
