Q

Types of human stem cells

A
  • blastacyst/embyonic
  • theraputic cloning- -put nucleus of patient into egg cell- reduce rejection
  • umbilical cord- store if think needed
17
Q

Phloem

A
  • live cells, elengated

  • pourous end walls- two way flow
  • cell sap
  • from leaves to growing regioins in plants for immediate use or storage as starch
18
Q

Xylem

A
  • dead
  • no end walls
  • walls strengthened with lignin
  • transpiration- mineral ions and water
19
Q

Meristem-where found

A
  • stem cells in plants
  • tips of plants/ shoots
  • roots as well
20
Q

Uses of plant stem cells

A
  • easy and quick to clone plants
  • rare species can be cloned to prevent extinctio
  • grow crops which need special features such as disease resistance
