The process of introducing genes characteristic of embryonic stem cells into mature cells results in what type of stem cells?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about a specific type of stem cells that results from a process involving introducing genes from embryonic stem cells into mature cells. It is likely seeking terminology related to cellular biology and stem cell technology.

Answer

induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)

The final answer is induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

More Information

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from adult cells, allowing them to have the capability similar to embryonic stem cells, which can develop into any cell type.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing iPSCs with embryonic stem cells themselves; while they share similar capabilities, they are derived differently.
