|
cells that grow uncontrollably
|
|
|
found only in embryos
|
|
|
cells that never go through cell division
|
|
|
undifferentiated cells that are capable of renewal and/or differentiation
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stem cells are unspecialized cells of the human body. They are able to differentiate into any cell of an organism and have the ability of self-renewal. Stem cells exist both in embryos and adult cells. There are several steps of specialization.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can self-renew indefinitely and that can also differentiate into more mature cells with specialized functions.
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.
