Question

What is differentiation and redifferentiation?

Hint:

Differentiation leads to cell specialization, while redifferentiation allows cells to regain functional capabilities.

Answer 1

Differentiation and redifferentiation are processes of cellular specialization in plants 
1. Differentiation: The process in which unspecialized meristematic cells develop into specialized cells with specific functions. 
Example: Cambium differentiating into xylem and phloem. 
2. Redifferentiation: The process where previously differentiated cells regain the ability to divide or specialize again for a new function. 
Example: Secondary growth in woody plants, where parenchyma cells redifferentiate into vascular tissues.
