Stem Cells of a given organ or tissue produce only the types of cells that are unique to that tissue
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These are pluripotent (ploo-RIP-uh-tunt) stem cells, meaning they can divide into more stem cells or can become any type of cell in the body. This versatility allows embryonic stem cells to be used to regenerate or repair diseased tissue and organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Oligopotent: These can differentiate into a few different cell types.

Detailed explanation-4: -iPS Cell. An induced pluripotent stem cell, or iPS cell, is a cell taken from any tissue (usually skin or blood) from a child or adult and is genetically modified to behave like an embryonic stem cell. As the name implies, these cells are pluripotent, which means that they have the ability to form all adult cell types.
