,b. anabolism
how are reproduction, differentiation, & growth related? - answers-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.
