36. Which of the following stem cells can differentiate into largest number of different cell types? A) Pluripotent B)Unipotent C) Somatic D) Oligopotent
Homework Answers
Answer: A. Pluripotent
A pluripotent cell has the ability to divide and differentiate into all three types of primary germ layer cells that are ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. these cells are responsible for formation of the three germ layers in the developing embryo.
Explanations for incorrect answers:
B) A unipotent cell can differentiate into a single and specific type of cell.
C) The somatic cells can also differentiate into specific types of cells.
D) Oligopotent cells can differentiate into more than one type of cell but lesser than the pluripotent cells.

The difference between embryonic and adult stem cells is that a.Embryonic stem cells are normally present during development, adult stem cells are only present when gene therapy is used to induce them to form. b.Both adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells can be treated with growth factors to become any tissue type in the body. c.None of the above. d. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, adult stem cells might be pluripotent OR multipotent. e.Adult stem cells are multipotent, embryonic...

1. Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells ______________________. a. Are created by the expression of key transcription regulators in cells derived from adult tissues so that these cells can differentiate into a variety of cell types. b. Require a supply of donor egg cells, such as embryonic stem cells. c. Can differentiate into a greater variety of adult tissues than embryonic stem cells. d. Are created by nuclear transplantation. 2. The different characteristics of different cell types in a multicellular organism...

7. Which of the following are potential barriers to stem cell therapy? a) Injection of cells may cause either inflammation or be rejected by recipient. b) For iPSC, retroviral insertion of transgenes for reprogramming can cause deleterious mutation. c) Not all stem cells in the population may differentiate into the appropriate tissue and due to the self renewal property, could lead to cancer d) There are societal ethical concerns over the source of embryonic stem cells.

You have a culture of stem cells growing in a flask in a laboratory. You separate the cells into various dishes and cause them to specialize into different types of cells. You find that you can cause the stem cells to specialize into either red blood cells or white blood cells, but you cannot coax themto specialize into muscle cells or nerve cells. Which of the following is a valid conclusion about your line of stem cells, based on this...
