Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cell differentiation results from the differential expression of genes that are responsive to environmental signals. Differentiation occurs as a result of changes in gene expression, which can be triggered by different external signals and cues. The differential expression of genes ultimately leads to the formation of distinct cell types with specialized functions in the organism.
