The correct answer is ‘differentiation’. In animals and plants, stem cells are unspecialised and can turn into any type of specialised cell. This happens when a fertilised egg, or zygote, splits via mitosis into an eight-cell embryo. This embryo can then develop into any specialised cell via differentiation.
