Differentiation potential of stem cells specifies:

Which of the following cells is a multipotent cell?

A stem cell is:

_____ can be cured with stem cells.

The stem cells may be obtained from sources such as:

Assertion: Embryonic stem cells can give rise to different cell types. Reason: Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent.

Assertion: Stem cells are undifferentiated and found in multicellular organisms, and undergo numerous mitotic cycles. Reason: Stem cells have 'self-renewal' feature and do not exhibit 'cellular potency'.
