Meiosis is making many different types of cells; this is what animals use to reproduce..only animals

anonymous · Answer

Differentiation is taking place to create cells with specialized functions as the organism becomes more larger and complex,

@agentscape what is differienation?

anonymous · Answer

Meiosis only deals with gametes (sex cells) and not with the development of the organism.

anonymous · Answer

In developmental biology, cellular differentiation is the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type. Differentiation occurs numerous times during the development of a multicellular organism as the organism changes from a simple zygote to a complex system of tissues and cell types.
