Adult stem cells are more specalized than their embryonic counterparts, embryonic stem cells can become any cell whereas adult stem cells can only be used to form certain cells.

How are adult stem cells better then embryonic stem cells?

They are not better, embryonic stem cells can become more types then adult.


Are adult stem cells really potentially better than embryonic?

Present research indicates that adult stem cells are just as good as embryonic.


How are adult body cells different from embryonic stem cells?

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


How was the cloning of dolly the sheep different to cloning used by farmers?

She was the first adult cloned. taco She was the first adult cloned. taco


What is the difference between fusion cell cloning and adult cell cloning?

What I think is that fusion cell cloning is when an empty ovum has any sort of cell fused into it by a mild electric shock, while adult cell cloning is only when a sperm is taken from an adult cell is fused into the empty ovum.

What do scientists typically begin with to clone adult animals?

Cloning is making multiple copies of the given cells in-vivo condition to generate the complete replica of organism. Cloning may begin with any totipotent cell which may be derived from embryonic cavity from the body of the organism. They are derived in the trophoblast stage and are grown in nutrient rich medium.


What are the similarities and differences between research on and the use of adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells?

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.


Which year was successful cloning of an adult sheep achieved?

1997.


Why is it useful for scientists to look at embryonic structures when determining evolutionary relationships?

Sometimes there are similarities in the embryonic stages of organisms that don't exist in the adult stages.
