Cell Differentiation

Stem Cells and Cell Differentiation.

QuestionAnswer
What are Stem Cells? Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are capable of producing many different types of cells (Totipotency and Pluripotency), or different types of the same class of cell (Multipotency).
Explain Totipotency: Totipotency is the ability of Embryonic Stem Cells to differentiate into ANY type of cell of that organism, including the placenta (Over 200 types of cell in Humans).
Explain Pluripotency: The ability of Embryonic Stem cells to differentiate into almost all cell types, some ability to differentiate has been lost as they cannot become placenta.
Explain Multipotency: The ability of Adult Stem cells to divide and become different types of cell of a specific type, such as Blood Stem Cells can become Red, white or Platelet cells.
Regulator Gene: A gene which produces a protein designed to block an Operator gene to prevent the production of a specific protein unless in the presence of a certain substrate.
