Where are stem cells used?

Stem cells are naturally found in the Zygote/ Embryo in the premature development days of a baby. They are also recently being used in genetics as they can be programmed to be used as a function for faulty cells


What type of cells are produced after fertilization occurs and the gametes combine?

After fertilization, the zygote is formed from the fusion of the sperm and egg. The zygote then undergoes cell division and differentiation to form embryonic stem cells, which give rise to all cell types in the body.


Do babies die when their stem cells are removed?

No, babies do not die when their stem cells are removed. Stem cells can be collected from umbilical cord blood or other tissues without harm to the baby, and the procedure is typically safe and painless. This practice allows for valuable stem cells to be stored for potential future medical use.


How are stem cells unique?

Stem cells are cells that have not yet specialized to become specific parts of the body, like a blood cell, skin cell of a fingertip, or a retina cell in the back of the eye. The cells in animals at some point in time originated from stem cells, beginning with a single cell (the zygote in animals that reproduce sexually).

Where are the stem cells that replace old blood cells located in adults?

Stem cells that replace old blood cells are primarily found in the bone marrow of adults. These adult stem cells are called hematopoietic stem cells and they are responsible for producing all types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
