How do stem cells know what type of cells to differentiate into?

The nucleus has instructions to turn some genes on and some genes off

Signals from chemicals in the organism or from the environment determine which genes will be turned on and off

Genes turn on and off randomly

The cell has unique DNA that determines what the cell will become.
