E) growth

Cell Specialization

The process by which generic cells develop into specific types of cells to perform unique functions in the body.

Differentiation

The process by which cells become specialized in structure and function, acquiring characteristics distinct from the original cell type as they develop into various tissues and organs.

Gene Activity

The process by which the information encoded in genes is converted into products like proteins or RNA, influencing an organism's characteristics.
