The progressional change from an undifferentiated state to highly specialized state is known as :

  • A.Development
  • B.Growth
  • C.Maturation
  • D.Regionalization

Answer: A

The progressive change from an undifferentiated state to a highly specialised state is known as development. Cells and tissues start as unspecialised and take on particular structures and functions, which is the sense of the word in growth studies.

Growth is only an increase in size or mass. Maturation is the progress towards the adult functional state, tied to timing and tempo. Regionalization refers to the division of the embryo or body into regions and is not the general term for the change from the undifferentiated to the specialised.
