Think of a 100 m sprinter from Jamaica or Trinidad at the starting line. When the gun fires, their muscles contract powerfully, their heart beats faster and their lungs work harder. All of this began from a single fertilised egg cell that divided and produced many different, specialised cells. How did one cell become so many different types with different jobs? Specialised cells are like workers in a big company, each has a particular job that keeps the “body business” running smoothly.
