What happens to an embryo when stem cells are harvested from it?
the embryo is killed
Do babies die when their stem cells are removed?
Stem cells are removed just after conception when the zygote is forming into an embryo. When stem cells are taken, the embryo cannot develop, and so does die.
Are more stem cells found in an embryo or an adult?
There are more cells found in an embryo than an adult.
How old does a zygote have to be to get stem cells?
In order to obtain stem cells, an embryo must be in the blastocyst stage.
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
Three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and neural stem cells.
Explain how a stem cell develops into an embryo?
Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, an early-stage embryo.In other words, they do not become embryos, they are part of an embryo.
What are stem cells described as?
stem cells are described as cells part of the embryo where fertilized human egg cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes
What part of a developing embryo are stem cells derived from?
Stem cells come from newly fertilized eggs.
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.
Can you get stem cells from bone marrow?
Yes. Stem cells can be hervested from: Bone marrow The early embryo Cord blood
What is the major issue involving the harvesting of embryonic stem cells?
The major issue involving the harvesting of embryonic stem cells is that the embryonic stem cells can cause the destruction of an embryo.
What are the differences between embryo and adult stem cells?
Adult stem cells are harvested from newborn's cord blood or human bone marrow while embryo stem cells come from the inner cell mass of a human embryo. No fetus is killed to use the stem cells, but the embryo cannot function and must be destroyed without a inner cell mass.
