Explanation: Differentiation involves turning on (expressing) specific genes so their RNA and proteins are produced, which change the cell's structure and function. "Transcribed" is one step in expression (making RNA), while "copied" refers to DNA replication and "spliced" is a post-transcriptional modification.
