Outline how the function of genes, mitosis, cell differentiation and specialisation assist in the maintenance of health

Gene expression is essential for the maintenance of health.
Genes:
-are the units of inheritance
-control the process of protein synthesis
-assist maintaining health by regulating the cell cycle and limiting the growth and reproduction of cells
-provide the code for each protein
Mitosis:
-cell division that makes two identical cells
-for growth and development
-replaces millions of cells that die each day
Cell differentiation:
-the process undergone by the cells past the stage of differentiation
-each cell has the genetic information necessary to produce all types of cells
-cells normally differentiate to become specialised
-undifferentiated cells for tumours
