Differentiation

Before a cell can carry out its specific role within an organism it must first develop the correct subcellular structures for the job. This is done in a process called differentiation which produces specialised cells.

The majority of differentiation in animal cells happens in the early stages of life as the organism develops. However, in most plants, the ability to differentiate is never lost.

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells which means they have the ability to develop into different types of cells.
