Organ Genesis is an "Up-and-coming" phrase who's process aims to mimic the natural occurance of somatic embryogenesis in a laboratory setting. Somatic embryogenesis is a complex life process by which early phase stem-cells divide and differentiate from a germline gene configuration into specialized organ tissue which cumulativly form body structures. The goal of "Organ Genesis" is simply to create a functional organ. Many techniques are still being experimented including Organ Printing, Nutrient Skeletal Reconstruction, and ofcourse stem-cell manipulation. As Bio-Technology further advances in this feild, the definition of organ genesis might be more refined, but for now, in it's own fledgling developmental stage, it is just the terminolgy used for the work being done in the hopes of achieving an outcome similar to that of the phenomenon; Somatic Embryogenesis.

What is difference between somatic cells and gametes cells?

Somatic cells are not involved in sexual reproduction. These are most of the cells in your body. Gametes are sex cells (sperm and ovules/eggs).


What is the difference between embryonic germ cells and embryonic stem cells?

A germ cell is a haploid cell (having only 23 chromosomes), such as a sperm or an egg. An embryonic stem cell is a diploid cell (containing 46 chromosomes) and is found in the inner cell mass of an embryo. This type of cell is pluripotent, meaning it can form any cell or tissue type.


What is another name for normal body cells?

Another name for body cells is somatic cells.


What are the main animal sources of stem cells?

The main animal sources of stem cells include embryos, which provide embryonic stem cells known for their pluripotency, meaning they can differentiate into any cell type. Adult animals also contain stem cells, primarily in tissues like bone marrow, fat, and muscle, which are referred to as adult or somatic stem cells and typically have more limited differentiation potential. Additionally, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be generated from adult somatic cells by reprogramming them to a pluripotent state, enabling them to behave like embryonic stem cells.


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.

What are the two different types of stems?

There are somatic cells, also known as an adult cell, and embryonic cells.


How does the structure and function of an adult somatic cell differ from that of an embryonic stem cell?

The structure and function of an adult somatic cell are specialized for carrying out specific tasks in the body, while embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated and have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body. Adult somatic cells are more mature and have limited ability to divide and differentiate, whereas embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and can divide indefinitely and differentiate into any cell type.


How are adult body cells differ 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


What are similarities between embryonic and adult stem cells?

The main similarity between embryonic and adult stem cells is their ability for self-renewal.

What are the key differences between germline cells and somatic cells in terms of their functions and characteristics?

Germline cells are responsible for passing genetic information to offspring, while somatic cells make up the body's tissues and organs. Germline cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes, while somatic cells undergo mitosis for growth and repair. Germline cells have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells and are involved in reproduction, while somatic cells have a full set of chromosomes and perform various functions in the body.
