Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is cell differentiation?
A
Process by which cells produce more cells
B
Process by which cells become specialized
C
Process by which cells become unspecialized
D
Process by which cells die
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell differentiation is the process by which dividing cells change their functional or phenotypical type. All cells presumably derive from stem cells and obtain their functions as they mature. Cellular composition is often modeled as a hierarchical scheme with stem cells at the top of the hierarchy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell specialization, also known as cell differentiation, is the process through which “generic” or “common” cells transform into specialized cells with defined tasks. Generic embryonic cells differentiate into specialized cells through cell differentiation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of hematopoiesis involves the differentiation of multipotent cells into blood and immune cells. The multipotent hematopoietic stem cells give rise to many different cell types, including the cells of the immune system and red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Does It Mean for a Cell to Be Specialized? If a cell is specialized, it has unique structures that allow it to carry out its function in the body. All cells start as stem cells, which are cells that can become many other types of cells. They go through a process called differentiation to become specialized.
