What type of biotechnology can develop different types of cells or tissues from an undifferentiated cell?
A
DNA fingerprinting
B
stem cell therapy
C
restricted enzymes
D
cloning
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therapeutic cloning, also called somatic cell nuclear transfer, is a technique to create versatile stem cells independent of fertilized eggs. In this technique, the nucleus is removed from an unfertilized egg. This nucleus contains the genetic material. The nucleus is also removed from the cell of a donor.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -stem cell, an undifferentiated cell that can divide to produce some offspring cells that continue as stem cells and some cells that are destined to differentiate (become specialized). Stem cells are an ongoing source of the differentiated cells that make up the tissues and organs of animals and plants.
