Regulate the human temperature.
Maintain cell homeostasis in the body.
Duplicate blood cell if needed
Where are stem cells located?

Kidney
Liver
Nerve system
What cells can't stem cells transform into?

Heart cells
Brain cells
Muscle tissue
Why is Zygote considered a superior stem cell?
It has the father and Mother genes
It forms red blood cells.
It is the first process of fertilization.
It has the ability to divide and develop in all cell types
Pluripotent embryonic stem cells can become any cell type and the placenta
True
False
What can affect the rate of stem cell production?
The temperature of the body.
The pH level of the body
Aging
none of the above
Zebrafish share about 71 percent of the human genome. Why do humans use their stem cells for treatment and drugs?
They are very similar to human cells.
Can be used to test for drugs.
All above
None of the above
What is the difference between embryonic and adult stem cells?
Adult stem cells have restricted developmental potential compared to embryonic.
Embryonic stem cells are smaller in size compared to adult stem cells.
Embryonic can divide almost indefinitely and can give rise to every cell type in the body,
Adult stem cells have greater life spam compared to embryonic stem cells.
Stem cells are used in organ transplants (bone marrow transplants).
True
False
Stem cells can be transported to people through stem cell therapy. What is the risk of this?
Adult stem cells Tissue-specific stem cells in adult individuals tend to be rare.
The stems cells' genes need to match with the person's genes. (prevent the body from seeing the stem cells as treat)
all above
none of the above
