AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -These pluripotent stem cells have the potential to become almost any cell type and are only found during the first stages of development. Scientists hope to understand how these cells differentiate during development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Embryonic stem cells. 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: -The cells of the bone marrow produce all of your healthy blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Hematopoietic stem cells are those found in bone marrow that serves as the “parent” for all of these different types of cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Embryonic stem cells. These embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. This means that they can turn into more than one type of cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stem cells provide new cells for the body as it grows, and replace specialised cells that are damaged or lost. They have two unique properties that enable them to do this: They can divide over and over again to produce new cells. As they divide, they can change into the other types of cell that make up the body.
