From unspecialised to specialised

From unspecialised to specialised

Mitosis produces genetically identical cells that later differentiate into a nerve cell and an epithelial cell because different genes are switched on.

Differentiation is the process by which an unspecialised cell develops the structures and shape needed to carry out one particular function. A specialised cell is adapted to carry out one particular function efficiently.
