O) Which of the following is the best example of cell differentiation? (1 point)

Question

A plant absorbing water through its roots
A bacterial cell dividing into two identical daughter cells
A stem cell developing into a muscle cell
A virus injecting its DNA into a host cell

Answer 1

The best example of cell differentiation among the options provided is:

A stem cell developing into a muscle cell.

Cell differentiation is the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type, such as a stem cell transforming into a specific type of cell like a muscle cell. The other options either describe processes of absorption, cell division, or viral behavior, which do not involve differentiation.
