What is the difference between embryonic germ cells and embryonic stem cells?

∙ 16y ago
A germ cell is a haploid cell (having only 23 chromosomes), such as a sperm or an egg. An embryonic stem cell is a diploid cell (containing 46 chromosomes) and is found in the inner cell mass of an embryo. This type of cell is pluripotent, meaning it can form any cell or tissue type.

∙ 11y agoSomatic stem cells are more differentiated than embryonic stem cells, that is, they become specialized for a particular lineage of cells. The types of cells that can originate from a somatic stem cell is limited whereas embryonic stem cells, being less differentiated, are capable of giving rise to almost every cell type.

∙ 10y agoAn embryo is the result of fertilization of an egg and sperm. The term can be used for the growing organism up to birth. "Germ" is often used to mean bacteria and viruses but it is used in botany to mean the embryo found in a seed which will germinate to form a plant. So actually they mean the same but are used in different organisms.

What are the techniques to produce embryonic stem cells and embryonic germ cells?
Sacrifice a embryo at the blastocoel stage. Obtain the stem cells from the blastomere.
Where does muscle tissue develop?
Muscle tissues are derived from the mesodermal layer of the embryonic germ cells through a process called myogenesis.
The intestinal tract develops from which embryonic germ layer?
It develops from the endoderm germ layer
Can germ cells be involved in mitosis?
No. Germ cells undergo Meosis, while Somatic cells undergo Mitosis
Why do pollen grains have germ cells?
In pollen grains germ cells give rise to male gametes
What are the techniques to produce embryonic stem cells and embryonic germ cells?
Sacrifice a embryo at the blastocoel stage. Obtain the stem cells from the blastomere.
What is the order of occurrence of the pre-embryonic structures?
Preembryonic forms are the zygote (fertilized egg), morula (a solid ball of cells), blastocyst (hollow ball with a single germ layer), and bilaminar embryonic disc(with two germ layers).
Where does muscle tissue develop?
Muscle tissues are derived from the mesodermal layer of the embryonic germ cells through a process called myogenesis.
The intestinal tract develops from which embryonic germ layer?
It develops from the endoderm germ layer
During embryonic development cells specialize to form what?
a group of specialized cells forms tissue, a group of tissue forms an organ
Which embryonic germ layer is bone derived from?
The mesoderm
Neural tissue is formed by the?
Ectoderm is responsible for the formation of neural tissue. It is one of the three main layers of germ cells in the early stages of embryonic development.
How many embryonic tissues does a sponge have?
Sponges have two germ layers therefore they are diploblastic.
Do arthropods have three embryonic germ layers?
Phylum arthropoda does fall under the Protostomia clade characterized by bilateral symmetry and three germ layers.
What are female germ cells called?
ovaries. it's the female germ(gamete) cells. :)
Can germ cells be involved in mitosis?
No. Germ cells undergo Meosis, while Somatic cells undergo Mitosis
What is the difference between a temporary slide and a permanent slide when using a microscope?
the difference is when a temporary slide has a germ it can come off and on a permanent slide has a germ on it it can't come off
