Question

The cells of a multicellular organism specialize to perform particular functions in coordination with other cells in the body.Cells have genetic memory; they retain the effects of past influences and pass the memory on to their descendants.Continued interaction with nearby cells provides clues to guide the cell to its appropriate form and location.Once differentiated,a cell generally does not revert to earlier forms.Differentiation results in decreased capacity to replicate.
