that happens during development
-
and cells somehow know where they are
-
within this developing asymmetrical organism.

How does that happen?
-
It happens through a very regulated,

coordinated slow process of what is called differentiation.
-
Cells move from a state of limited differentiation
-
to a state of more differentiation.

-
is a completely undifferentiated cell.

We'll talk about another word for this later,
-
but it's a cell that's going to give rise
