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

A	stem cell
B	bone cell
C	nerve cell
D	gamete

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Stem cells are unspecialized cells that have not yet “decided” what type of adult cell they will be. They can self-renew and make two new stem cell. They can differentiate to make multiple types of cells. They ultimately amplify by expanding the number of differentiated & mature cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stem cells are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. They serve as a repair system for the body. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.
