What is the role of stem cells in cell differentiation?
|
|
They serve as a precursor for generalized cells
|
|
|
These cells can turn into specialized cells and back into generalized cells when needed
|
|
|
They are generalized cells that can lead to specialized cells

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stem cells have unspecialized capability and do not have tissue-specific structures to perform specialized functions. They can give rise to specialized cells: Stem cells go through a process called differentiation and create special types of cells (muscle, nerve, skin, etc.).
Detailed explanation-2: -Stem cells provide new cells for the body as it grows, and replace specialised cells that are damaged or lost. They have two unique properties that enable them to do this: They can divide over and over again to produce new cells. As they divide, they can change into the other types of cell that make up the body.
