Question 1

Question 2

how do cells specialize

Answer 2

cells specialize by using the genes inside the DNA, these genes are being turned on and off by the cell depending on what the cell needs to specialize in

Question 3

talk about stem cells

Answer 3

stem cells are undifferentiated cells, meaning that they are not specialized. Stem cells’ ability to divide and specialize in different things over time is necessary for embryonic development.

Question 4

what does it means when a stem cell is totipotent

Answer 4

totipotent: may later differentiate to form all the specialized cells in the human body

Question 5

tissue soecific

Answer 5

stem cells that are founded in small numbers in most of our body tissues, they replace existing stem cells in our organs

Question 6

pluripotent

Answer 6

stem cells that can be grown in any typo of tissue in the body e.g. embryonic

Question 7

induced pluripotent

Answer 7

regular cells that have been modified to act as stem cells
