What does the diagram represent here? I am having trouble understanding
The process by which unspecialized cells become specialized into one of many different types of cells, such as neurons or epithelial cells.
The researcher could look for the presence of proteins, because viruses have a envelope (capsid) composed of proteins that involve their genetic material. The capsid may have a helical or icosahedral structure and is extremely regular. Viroids cannot synthesize any type of protein, so differentiation is possible.
