Detailed explanation-1: -The organism in a stage between zygote to fetus is called an embryo* and the cells are called embryonic stem cells. At this point embryonic stem cells have the ability to become a cell for any part of the body (nerve, muscle, blood, etc.). This ability to become any type of cell in the body is called pluripotent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stem cells are special human cells that are able to develop into many different cell types. This can range from muscle cells to brain cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
