How do specialized cells form?

Answer 1

It all starts with stem cells.

The marrow of long bones (thigh bone) and developing embryos (embryonic stem cells) are the main sources of stem cells. Stem cells are cells that have no properties at all; the genetic material 'instructs' them to transform themselves into specialized cells like red blood cells etc. to match the current needs of the organism.

Specialized cells form through a process called cell differentiation, where unspecialized cells (stem cells) undergo changes in gene expression to become specialized for specific functions. This process involves various factors such as environmental signals, gene regulation, and cell-to-cell communication.
