Shortly after a chimpanzee embryo begins growing, its cells begin to look different. which statement best describes what is happening at this point in the chimpanzee embryo's development? -meiosis is making many different types of cells. -cellular respiration is breaking down old cells to form new ones. -mitosis is making identical new cells from the original cells. -differentiation is taking place to create cells with specialized functions.

Differentiation is taking place to create cells with specialized functions.

Explanation:

Differentiation refers to the process wherein the young and unspecialized cells are developed into a mature state. It includes structural changes in the cells accompanied by the expression of specific sets of genes to make them perform specific functions.  

According to the question, during embryonic development, the various cells of a chimpanzee embryo start adopting distinct appearances which means that the cells are undergoing the process of differentiation.  

they are known to reach a speed of 21 miles per hour
