All stem cells have three general charactersitcs:
1. they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods
2. they are unspecialized
3. they can give rise to specialized cell types.

What are the types of stem cells?
There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.
Which is true of unipotent stem cells A. They can only produce cells that are like themselves. B. They are only found in animals at low trophic levels. C. They do not have organelles enclosed in membr?
A. They can only produce cells that are like themselves. Unipotent stem cells are a type of stem cell that has the ability to differentiate into only one specific type of cell. This characteristic distinguishes them from pluripotent and multipotent stem cells, which can generate multiple cell types.
Can stem cells self renew?
Yes, stem cells have the unique ability to self-renew, meaning they can divide and produce more stem cells while maintaining their undifferentiated state. This property allows them to replenish themselves over time and contribute to tissue maintenance and repair. Self-renewal is a crucial characteristic that distinguishes stem cells from other cell types, enabling their potential applications in regenerative medicine and research.
How many different types of tissue stem cells are there?
There are three different types of tissue stem cells in the body. They include the tissue stem cells also known as adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells.
What kind of stem cells can develop from unipotent stem cells?
What kind(s) of cells can develop from unipotent stem cells
What kind of stem cells can only develope into cells that are closely related to the original stem cells?
Multipotent stem cells
What kind of stem cells can only develop into cells that are closely related to the original stem cells?
Multipotent stem cells
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
Cells that retain the ability to divide continuously without specializing are called?
Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).
Are stem cells human?
Yes, some stem cells do come from humans. The stem cells are taken from embryos. Animals also have stem cells used in research.
Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cell stem cells instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
