Chapter 32, Problem 2FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
In multicellular organisms, the growth and differentiation are two important properties for the survival of the organism. Dividing cells have a large possibility to differentiate and form a specialized cell to perform a specific function known as cellular potency. Higher is the potency, higher will be the variety of cells that can be derived from a single cell. After differentiation, a similar type of cells arranges together to perform the same function.
