Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells differentiate through gene regulation, which involves the activation or repression of specific genes that instruct the cell to develop into a specific type of tissue or cell. Growth and the cell cycle play a role in cell proliferation, but not necessarily in the process of differentiation. Timing may play a role in certain developmental processes, but it is not the primary mechanism by which cells differentiate.
