please answer this post and ask one question regarding this post Embryonic stem cells are a type of cell that derive from embryos. This process usually happens though in vitro fertilization and then donated to research with consent of the donor. These cells are useful for research and can be used to “regenerate and repair damaged tissue, some current therapies such as bone marrow transplantation already make use to stem cells and their potential for regeneration of damaged tissues” (Kohl,...

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...

"Stem cells are undifferentiated, primitive cells with the ability both to multiply and to differentiate into specific kinds of cells. Stem cells hold the promise of allowing researchers to grow specialized cells or tissue, which could be used to treat injuries or disease (e.g., spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, strokes, burns)."

Cloning Human Embryonic Stem Cells Cloning is now possible by inserting a skin cell from a baby into an unfertilized human egg that has had its own DNA removed. This produces a blastocyte (an undifferentiated embry onic cell), which includes stem cells identical to the baby's. With this technique it is possible to make genetically identical embryonic stem cells from any cell in the human body. This would remove the need to harvest these cells from existing embryos. Theoretically these...

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...
