Detailed explanation-1: -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: -These daughter cells become either new stem cells or specialized cells (differentiation) with a more specific function, such as blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle cells or bone cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stem cell differentiation involves the changing of a cell to a more specialized cell type, involving a switch from proliferation to specialization. This involves a succession of alterations in cell morphology, membrane potential, metabolic activity and signal responsiveness.
Detailed explanation-4: -The two defining characteristics of a stem cell are perpetual self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into a specialized adult cell type.
