Some cells exit the cell cycle between interphase and division and enter an non-dividing phase called GO. The process that causes cell specialization is called differentiation and occurs when the cell selectively activates or inactivates specific genes. Specialized cells differ in structure and function.

∙ 12y agoSpecialisation occurs during the development of a young cell when a specific gene causes it to build up different features for a particular function. For instance how red blood cells are made to carry oxygen aroudn the body or nerves are specially made for speed to send messages to the brain.

Each cell nucleus contains identical DNA, but different mechanisms (for example chemical messengers) decides which genes are expressed in the cell. The genes are the template for m-RNA (messenger-RNA) transcript which then leads to synthesis of proteins. Different proteins in different cells results in different functions of the cell itself.

What is meant by T cell priming?
The first contact of a T or B cell with its specific antigen is called priming. It causes differentiation into effector T or B cells.
What is a sentence for the word cell differentiation?
Cell differentiation is a transition of a cell from one cell type to another and it involves a switch from one pattern of gene expression to another.
What is the process by which the cell gives rise to cell different from itself?
differentiation
What term refers to cells having different jobs?
Cell specialization
What is Terminal differentiation of cells?
cell differentation is the difference between two cells
What is it called when a stem cell becomes specific type of cell?
differentiation.
Why do we have cell differentiation in the body?
to differentiation the cells
What is the differentiation of cells?
The purpose of cell differentiation is to allow a regular cell to develop into a specific cell.
How do you think cell differentiation affects an organism?
Cell Differentation affects an organism and allows it to do different things. If a organism had no Cell Differentation the cells could only do one thing.
What is cell specialization(differentiation)?
The specialization of a Cell occurs in two phases: first Differentiation and second Determination.
What is meant by T cell priming?
The first contact of a T or B cell with its specific antigen is called priming. It causes differentiation into effector T or B cells.
What is a sentence for the word cell differentiation?
Cell differentiation is a transition of a cell from one cell type to another and it involves a switch from one pattern of gene expression to another.
What does mapping refer to in the process of cell differentiation?
In cell differentiation: Mapping refers to the different phases, distinguishing between them and analyzing them.
The embryonic stage in which cell migration and differentiation occurs is known as a?
The embryonic stage in which cell migration and differentiation occurs is known as a gastrula.
What is the process called that makes cells specialized?
zygote, stem cells, cell differentiation zygote, stem cells, cell differentiation
Explain how stem cells are necessary for cell differentiation?
Stem cells are necessary for cellular differentiation because when they divide, they become specialized cells.
What is the process by which the cell gives rise to cell different from itself?
differentiation
