how are reproduction, differentiation, & growth related? -
ANSWER ✔️ reproduction occurs through the fertilization of an
,ovum by a sperm cell to form a zygote, followed by repeated cell
divisions & the differentiation of these cells. growth is an increase
in body size that results from an increase in the size of existing
cells, an increase, in the number of cells, or both.
