Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to continue to grow and divide in their non-specialized state for long periods of time. Although the genes found within the stem cells are the same, stem cells differentiate into unique cell types (e.g., muscle cells, nerve cells, skin cells, etc.) due to
|
|
random segregation and proliferation
|
|
|
meiotic division and fertilization
|
|
|
mutations in their genetic code
|
|
|
different patterns in their gene expression
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stem cells are different from other cells in the body in three ways: They can divide and renew themselves over a long time. They are unspecialized, so they cannot do specific functions in the body. They have the potential to become specialized cells, such as muscle cells, blood cells, and brain cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Somatic or adult stem cells are undifferentiated and found among differentiated cells in the whole body after development. The function of these cells is to enable the healing, growth, and replacement of cells that are lost each day. These cells have a restricted range of differentiation options.
