Best Answer

You start life as a single cell but that goes through many many mitotic divisions that create identical daughter cells. After a number of these mitotic divisions these cells start to differentiate or specialize by producing the proteins that will define the type of cell it eventually becomes such as a muscle cell or a brain cell.
