Accepted Answer

Development refers to the overall process of changes that occur during an organism's growth and maturation, including the gradual modification of anatomical structures. Differentiation refers specifically to the specialization of cells into different types, while embryogenesis refers to the development of an embryo from a fertilized egg. Capacitation refers to the process by which sperm cells become capable of fertilizing an egg, and is not directly related to the gradual modification of anatomical structures.
