Gene Expression and Cell Differentiation

Stem cells are used to grow different types of tissues.

Because internal and external stimuli can trigger the activation of specific genes in the DNA of cells.

Cells differentiate because they have different sets of genes activated in the daughter cells.

Cells develop specialized functions by expressing specific genes.

Cell Wall.

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize a functional gene product, usually proteins.

Internal stimuli can trigger the activation of specific genes, leading to cell differentiation.

External stimuli can influence gene expression and lead to the development of specialized cell types.

Stem cells are undifferentiated and can develop into various cell types, while differentiated cells have specific functions.

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
