From one cell

A living animal develops from a single cell to completion in this video, created by a European filmmaker and biologist.

All the cells look alike. But watch for signs that some of them must have changed to create a heart, or muscles, or a circulation system. Though they have the same DNA, cells develop differently in order to create body parts for distinct functions. 

It's not random. It's called cell differentiation.
