Can you List the three identifying characteristics of stem cells?
Self-renewal: Stem cells can replicate and produce more stem cells indefinitely. Potency: Stem cells have the potential to differentiate into various specialized cell types. Longevity: Stem cells have a long lifespan compared to other cells in the body.
What are the types of stem cells?
There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.
What is the process by which stem cells become specialized cells?
The process by which stem cells become specialized cells is called differentiation. During differentiation, stem cells undergo a series of changes in gene expression that guide them to develop into specific cell types, such as muscle, nerve, or blood cells. This process is influenced by various factors, including signaling molecules and the cellular environment, which provide cues that determine the fate of the stem cells. Ultimately, differentiation enables stem cells to acquire distinct functions and characteristics specific to their specialized roles in the body.
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).

What is a defining characteristics of a prokaryotic cell?
Most prokaryotic cells, unlike eukaryotic cells, have a string of DNA inside them instead of a nucleus.

How many different types of tissue stem cells are there?
There are three different types of tissue stem cells in the body. They include the tissue stem cells also known as adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells.

What kind of stem cells can develop from unipotent stem cells?
What kind(s) of cells can develop from unipotent stem cells
What kind of stem cells can only develope into cells that are closely related to the original stem cells?
Multipotent stem cells
What kind of stem cells can only develop into cells that are closely related to the original stem cells?
Multipotent stem cells
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
Cells that retain the ability to divide continuously without specializing are called?
Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).
Are stem cells human?
Yes, some stem cells do come from humans. The stem cells are taken from embryos. Animals also have stem cells used in research.
