Detailed explanation-1: -The original mass of cells, which have not undergone differentiation, are known as stem cells. Unlike normal cell division, which creates two identical daughter cells, the division of stem cells is asymmetric cell division. In this case, one of the cells remains identical to the parent stem cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into all of the cells of the adult body. Adult stem cells are found in a tissue or organ and can differentiate to yield the specialized cell types of that tissue or organ.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stem cells are cells that are not differentiated and can become many different types of cells. There are embryonic stem cells that occur during human development, but there are also adult stem cells that are situated to replace specific types of tissue in the adult body.
Detailed explanation-4: -A cell that can differentiate into all cell types of the adult organism is known as pluripotent. Such cells are called meristematic cells in higher plants and embryonic stem cells in animals, though some groups report the presence of adult pluripotent cells.
