Detailed explanation-1: -Stem cells divide to produce daughter cells that can either differentiate or remain as stem cells, thereby serving as a source for the production of differentiated cells throughout life.
Detailed explanation-2: -| Cell fate means that a stem cell “makes a decision” to differentiate into a more mature cell type. Signals from the environment-chemicals, extracellular proteins/hormones/factors, neighboring cells, the physical environment-converge on the cell, typically activating a signaling cascade that leads to gene expression.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
