Stem cells are interesting because they have the capacity to differentiate into any different type of tissue, thereby giving them the potential to cure or reverse many diseases and injuries.

What cell is a partly specialized cell which is the daughter of a stem cell?

A progenitor cell is a partly specialized cell that is the daughter of a stem cell. Progenitor cells have a more limited differentiation potential compared to stem cells and are committed to differentiating into specific cell types.


What would be considered an undifferentiated cell nerve skin blood or stem?

An undifferentiated cell is a basic cell that has not yet specialized into a specific cell type. Stem cells are a type of undifferentiated cell that can differentiate into different cell types. Nerve, skin, and blood cells are specialized cells that have differentiated from stem cells.


What type of cell can differentiate into any kind of cell?

A stem cell can become any other type of specialized cell.


How are stem cells differentiated to develop into specific cell types?

Stem cells differentiate into specific cell types through a process called cell signaling. This involves signals from the surrounding environment that instruct the stem cell to become a particular type of cell, such as a muscle cell or a nerve cell. These signals activate specific genes within the stem cell, guiding its development into the desired cell type.


Which of the following is a topic of ethical debate over stem cell research?

Concern that allowing theraputic cloning of embryonic stem cells will lead to wider acceptance of reproductive cloning. ALL!!!!!!Uncertainty about how to most ethically treat unimplanted embryos stored at fertility clinics. Inability to definitively determine when life begins. all of these the answer is "ALL OF THESE" if you're doing it for study island

Why sciencist are interested in stem cells?

a stem cell is the basic undifferentiated cell, meaning that it has the capability to become any cell in the body. scientists are interested by them because they can replace damaged cells, the most interesting use is to replace damaged nerve or brain tissue since those tissues do not repair themselves on their own and nerve cells don't divide. the potential for stem cell technology includes healing paralysis and brain damage.
