Correct Answer:
A stem cell maturing to become a muscle cell that can contract
Rationale:
🧫 Cell differentiation is the process where an unspecialized stem cell develops into a specialized cell type.
🧫 In this case, a stem cell becoming a muscle cell capable of contraction is a clear example of this transformation.
🧫 The resulting muscle cell expresses specific genes, produces contractile proteins, and performs distinct functions.
🧫 This is different from normal cell functions like hormone release or ATP production, which do not involve changing identity.
🧫 Differentiation is essential during development, tissue repair, and cell specialization.
