Stem cells may be similar to the cells of a developing embryo because both cell types can?
A special :)
What part of a developing embryo are stem cells derived from?
Stem cells come from newly fertilized eggs.
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.
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.

Are more stem cells found in an embryo or an adult?
There are more cells found in an embryo than an adult.

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.
Who has the authority to decide if stem cells of an embryo are used?
you do!
How is stem cells different from adult animal cells?
A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to generate itself into any body part or cell type of the organism it is developing. Stem cells are found in the blastocyst of an embryo and ALSO in adults. Because adults have already finished developing, the stems cells are then used to maintain regenerative organs such as skin, blood or intestinal tissues. All other adult cells do not have the ability to regenerate.
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.
When does organogenesis occur?
Organogenesis is the process by which a mass of cells in a developing embryo differentiates and develops into a functioning organ. In the embryo, all cells are basically stem cells and all alike. Once the process of organogenesis takes place and the beginnings of specialized organs form, the fetal stage begins.
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
