COPY: Stem Cells

• Cells that divide to produce specialized cells (correct)
• Cells found only in plant stems
• Cells that maintain the body's external environment
• Cells with limited differentiation abilities

• Adult stem cells can differentiate into any type of body cell, while embryonic stem cells have limited differentiation specific to their tissue origin
• Embryonic stem cells can only differentiate into blood cells, while adult stem cells can differentiate into any type of body cell
• Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into any type of body cell, while adult stem cells have limited differentiation specific to their tissue origin (correct)
• Adult stem cells can only differentiate into blood cells, while embryonic stem cells can differentiate into any type of body cell

• By exposing the cells to extreme temperatures
• By isolating stem cells from adult tissues
• By replacing the egg cell's genome with an adult's genome or by introducing specific genes into an adult skin cell (correct)
• By using a specific chemical process to alter the cell's properties
