Answer:

read these carefully and you'll develop your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Explain what is meant by a specialised cell.

Specialised cells are cells designed to carry out a particular role in the body.

2. Stem cells can specialise.

2. How do stem cells become specialised?

Stem cells can divide and produce cells that have the potential to become other more specialized cell types or tissues.

3. What might happen if a stem cell does not differentiate properly?

“Many cell types once they have become completely specialised (terminally differentiated) have a limited capacity to produce new cells of the same type.”, if they don't differentiate properly, they will not be able to specialize in any field, will it have a tissue to reside in nor function.
