        Nucleolus, Nucleus and Cell.

    A cell can be specialized into plant cells, animal cells, 
    different organ cells.

    It can be specialized into sperms, eggs which are capable of
    producing tiny offsprings.
    
    That's how FractalPlants were created ?

    There are also cells that don't specialise but just
    grow and grow and grow and grow uncontrollably.
    
    What are these cells ? Are they called tumor cells or 
    cancer cells ? 

    Of course, cell can also be specialised into that wonderful 
    FreeCell. ;-)

    Cheers,

    PhiHo.
