Why are your muscle cells different from your nerve cells?

• muscle and nerve cells have different DNA, different genes

• muscle and nerve cells have the same DNA (same genes) but different genes are turned on

• muscle and nerve cells began with the same DNA (same genes) but some different genes were destroyed by each cell type

• muscle cells are not different from nerve cells, they are the same

What is the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells?

• Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than adult stem cells
• Adult stem cells are pluripotent, just like embryonic stem cells
• Adult stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than embryonic stem cells
• Adult stem cells grow bigger than embryonic stem cells

Stem cells are

• cells that grow uncontrollably.
• undifferentiated and can develop into many types of cells.
• cells that never go through cell division.
• only found in embryos.
