What is unique about stem cells?

Question

A: they are unspecialized

B: they are differentiated

C: they are only found in plants

D: they are only found in embryos

Answer 1

The correct answer is A: they are unspecialized.

Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to differentiate into various specialized cell types and can self-renew, meaning they can divide and produce more stem cells. Additionally, while certain types of stem cells are found in embryos (embryonic stem cells), there are also adult stem cells found in various tissues throughout the body, so option D is not entirely accurate.
