Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Differentiation.

After fertilization, embryonic cells undergo differentiation — they activate and repress specific genes so daughter cells develop specialized structures and functions (e.g., heart or brain cells). Cell mutation is not required and gene suppression is only one part of the broader differentiation process.
