Cell differentiation is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells. This occurs through a process called gene expression. Gene expression is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off (expressed or repressed), and this is what dictates how a cell functions

Answer:

Cell differentiation is the process that makes cells become a more specialized one that can perform specific organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

All right, first of all, we need o to understand something. This can only happen in multicellular organisms. Also, they all come from one cell called stem cell that has the ability to be distributed and find a specialized utility. Also once the are converted to that specific cell type, they could even specialize themselves into a certain region, or task inside that tissue.
