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: -The process through which unspecialized cells become specialised to perform certain functions is known as differentiation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cell differentiation is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells. This occurs through a process called gene expression.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transcription factors can turn on at different times during cell differentiation. As cells mature and go through different stages (arrows), transcription factors (colored balls) can act on gene expression and change the cell in different ways. This change affects the next generation of cells derived from that cell.
