What are the types of stem cells?
There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are derived from embryos, and adult stem cells, which are found in adult tissues and can differentiate into a limited range of cell types. Additionally, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are adult cells reprogrammed to behave like embryonic stem cells.
What sources of stem cells presents the greatest ethical problems or controversies?
Embryonic stem cells present the greatest ethical problems as they are obtained from embryos, which leads to debates about the moral status of the embryo and concerns about potential destruction of human life. Additionally, induced pluripotent stem cells, which are created by reprogramming adult cells, also raise ethical considerations due to issues related to genetic manipulation and informed consent.
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).
What type of cell are stem stem cell described as?
Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.
What is a special feature for a stem cell?
Stem cells are important cells found in all multi-celled organisms, that can divide and recognise problems. In mammals, there are two types of stem cells: embryonic cells, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, renewing and restoring adult tissues.

How many different types of tissue stem cells are there?
There are three different types of tissue stem cells in the body. They include the tissue stem cells also known as adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells.
What kind of stem cells can only develope into cells that are closely related to the original stem cells?
Multipotent stem cells
What kind of stem cells can only develop into cells that are closely related to the original stem cells?
Multipotent stem cells
What kind of stem cells can develop from unipotent stem cells?
What kind(s) of cells can develop from unipotent stem cells
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
Cells that retain the ability to divide continuously without specializing are called?
Cells that retain the ability to divide continuously without specializing are called stem cells.
One of the main biological problems with replacing damaged tissue through the use of embryonic stems cells is?
That genetic mutation of chosen stem cells may cause future problems.
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).
Are stem cells human?
Yes, some stem cells do come from humans. The stem cells are taken from embryos. Animals also have stem cells used in research.
