Term for differentiation within the cell

[icakeov]

I understand that the terms "differentiation" and "epigenetic" apply to cells in multicellular environment, and that different DNA is expressed to create distinct features in different cells.

What about the process of the creation of distinct features within the cell itself, such as all the cell components and organelles that all cells have (including unicellular organisms)? I imagine it is specific DNA sections that are "expressed" to code for those, and each of those cellular "sections" are in a way, "differentiated". Is there a term that describes this type of "differentiation"?

Any feedback appreciated!

Try: cytogenesis - I think that is what you want.
