TRUE
Totipotent embryonic cells have the potential to differentiate into any cell type in the body, including both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues.
adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic stem cells
Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.
An embryonic stem cell potentially can develop into ANY cell in the body theoretically without limit to replenish, and an adult stem cell is only able to mature into a specialised tissue cell from which tissue the cell is positioned.
One major difference between adult and embryonic stem cells is their different abilities in the number and type of differentiated cell types they can become. Embryonic stem cell can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin.
Embryonic stem cells are typically derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, a very early stage of embryonic development. This involves in vitro fertilization of an egg cell with sperm to form a zygote, which then develops into a blastocyst. Embryonic germ cells are derived from primordial germ cells found in the embryo. Techniques for producing these cells involve careful manipulation of embryonic development and culture conditions to isolate and maintain these specific cell types.
The structure and function of an adult somatic cell are specialized for carrying out specific tasks in the body, while embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated and have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body. Adult somatic cells are more mature and have limited ability to divide and differentiate, whereas embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and can divide indefinitely and differentiate into any cell type.
Only adult stem cells produce progenitor cells because they multiply though the process of cell division and therefore produce progenitor cells.
Embryonic stem cells that are pluripotent can develop into any type of cell.
An embryonic stem cell potentially can develop into ANY cell in the body theoretically without limit to replenish, and an adult stem cell is only able to mature into a specialised tissue cell from which tissue the cell is positioned.
