Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Stem cells are:

A	specialized cells with specific functions in the body
B	cells that are undifferentiated and can differentiate into any cell type
C	reproductive cells
D	cells that can only do one job

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can self-renew indefinitely and that can also differentiate into more mature cells with specialized functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -These are pluripotent (ploo-RIP-uh-tunt) stem cells, meaning they can divide into more stem cells or can become any type of cell in the body. This versatility allows embryonic stem cells to be used to regenerate or repair diseased tissue and organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pluripotent: can differentiate into almost all cell types; Multipotent: can differentiate into a related family of cell types; Oligopotent: can differentiate into a few different cells; Unipotent: can produce one cell type only.
