cell differentiation
Cards (3)
- stem cells:
- undifferentiated cells
- must undergo differentiation to be specialized cells
- differentiation in animal cells:
- almost all cells differentiate at an early stage
- most specialized cells can make more of their own by mitosis
- red blood cells are replaced by adult stem cells (bone marrow)
- adult stem cells are partially differentiated
- differentiation in plant cells:
- types of cells retain the ability to differentiate
- only differentiate when they reach their final position
