- Cell Differentiation
- Stem cells all contain the same genes, but not all of them are expressed because not all of them are active.
- Under the right conditions, some genes are activated, and other genes inactivated.
- mRNA is only transcribed from the active genes.
- The mRNA from the active genes is then translated into proteins.
- These proteins modify the cell- they determine the cell structure and control cell processes.
- Changes in the cell produced by these proteins cause the cell to become specialised (differentiate). These changes are difficult to reverse, so once a cell has differentiated it stays specialised.
- These proteins modify the cell- they determine the cell structure and control cell processes.
- The mRNA from the active genes is then translated into proteins.
