Cell differentiation produces cells with different gene expressions.
Cell differentiation produces cells with different gene expressions.

Cell differentiation does not cause proliferation.

Answer 1

Cell differentiation produces cells with different gene expressions.

This response captures the essence of cell differentiation, which involves the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type, leading to varied gene expression. In contrast, mitosis is the process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells, with no change in gene expression or specialization.
