Question 9 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

All the major organs of the body are formed by week 10 of gestation. Which process makes this possible?

Answer
A
fertilization
B
differentiation
C
self-renewal
D
growth

Explanation

Differentiation is the process by which unspecialized cells develop into specialized cell types, such as muscle, nerve, and blood cells. These specialized cells organize into tissues and organs, making organ formation possible by week 10. Growth increases size, but it does not by itself create the different cell types needed to form organs.
