Cell Differentiation How does it all begin?
11
Cell Differentiation Process where a non-specific cell becomes specialized into a specific cell type. Begins with stem cells
12
Stem Cells Basic cells that can differentiate to produce a variety specialized cells Can also divide through mitosis to make more stem cells
13
Cell Differentiation What does NOT change? DNA stays the same What DOES change? Physical characteristics of the cell Response to environment Composition of proteins within the cell
