The growth process that allows cells to become specialized to carry out specific functions is:

A) cell division.
B) cell elongation.
C) cell differentiation.
D) primary growth.
E) secondary growth.

Cell Differentiation

Cell differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized in structure and function to perform specific tasks within an organism.

Specific Functions

Distinct roles or activities that are characteristic of a particular process, organ, or system within a living organism.

Cell Division

Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, essential for growth, repair, and reproduction in living organisms.
