Question
Chapter 14, Problem 2QP
Summary Introduction
To determine: The differences between pluripotent and multipotent stem cells.
Introduction: The cells that possess the ability to differentiate into several types of cells, and also have the ability to renew them are known as stem cells. Embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells are two broad types of stem cells. Bone marrow and the umbilical cord blood are the two main sources to extract stem cells.
