What is the difference between undifferentiated and differentiated (specialized cells)?
Undifferentiated cells (also called stem cells) can become any type of cell. Specialized cells have already become a type of cell and cannot go back.

What is the difference between a point mutation and a frameshift mutation?

Point - only 1 base in the DNA is changed. Frameshift - a base is added or deleted, which changes all of the codons after the mutation.

Describe the process of using genetic engineering to make human insulin.
