PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Under the right conditions in the body or a laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells called daughter cells. 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-2: -Stem cells are special human cells that are able to develop into many different cell types. This can range from muscle cells to brain cells. In some cases, they can also fix damaged tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stem cells divide to form one daughter cell that remains a stem cell and a second that differentiates (e.g., to an intestinal epithelial cell). A good example of the continual proliferation of stem cells is provided by blood cell differentiation.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The stem cells are not specialized or differentiated; instead, differentiated and specialized cells are formed from the stem cells. Hence, the given statement is not correct.
