Cell with limited potential to develop into many types of differentiated cells

• Developed Cells

• Pluripotent

• Totipotent

• Multipotent

Unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells

• Dead cell
• Embryonic cell
• Stem Cell
• Plant cell

Stage of early development in mammals that consists of a hollow ball of cells

• Developing cells
• Blastocyst
• Differentiation
• Mammal Cells

Where can Totipotent cells be found?

• Heart Tissue
• Bone Marrow
• Inner Cell Mass
• Fertilized Egg

Which is NOT an example of cell differentiation?

• Bone marrow cells are used to repair damage to heart tissues
• A fertilized egg to cell developed into an embryo
• A leaf cell divides as a plant leaf grows
• Stemm cells from bone marrow develop into blood cells

Medical Researches are interested in stem cells because they...

• Are highly specialized
• Are found only in embryos
• Can produce different cell types
• Are found in all types of tissues

Adult stem cells that produce replacements for cells that have short life spans are

• Totipotent
• Mutipotent
• Pluripotent
• Highly Specialized
