Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are adult stem cells?
A
differentiated cell, thought to be found among other differentiated cells in a tissue or organ
B
undifferentiated cell, found among differentiated cells in a tissue or organ
C
they are the same as embryonic stem cells
D
undifferentiated cell, found among other differentiated cells in an organism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adult stem cells, also known as somatic stem cells or resident stem cells, are a rare population of undifferentiated cells, located within a differentiated organ or organism, in a specialized structure, called niche. The niches maintain the local microenvironments that regulate the growth and development of stem cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adult stem cells, also called somatic stem cells, are undifferentiated cells that are found in many different tissues throughout the body of nearly all organisms, including humans.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adult stem cells. These stem cells are found in small numbers in most adult tissues, such as bone marrow or fat. Compared with embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells have a more limited ability to give rise to various cells of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adult (non-embryonic) stem cells are unspecialized or undifferentiated cells, which means they have yet to develop into a specific cell type.
