Question
Chapter 11.3, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To differentiate:
Between embryonic, adult and induced pluripotent stem cells.
Concept introduction:
Stem cells are the cells that have the ability to continuously divide and differentiate into various kinds of cells or tissues. Stem cells are different from other cells of the body in as they have the ability that allows them to replace cells that have died.
