How is cell differentiation different from mitosis?
Cell differentiation does not cause proliferation
Cell differentiation produces cells with different gene expressions
Cell differentiation only occurs after a wound
Cell differentiation produces cells with different DNA
Cell differentiation is different from mitosis in that it produces cells with different gene expressions. Mitosis, on the other hand, is the process by which a cell duplicates its DNA and divides into two identical daughter cells. Cell differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized and acquire specific functions, such as becoming muscle cells or nerve cells. It involves changes in gene expression patterns, leading to the development of unique cellular characteristics. Cell differentiation can occur during embryonic development, tissue repair, or in response to specific signals or stimuli. It does not necessarily require cell proliferation, and it can result in the production of cells with different DNA, as certain genes may be turned on or off during differentiation.
