Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The genetic material in all the living organisms is the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). All the eukaryotes, as well as the prokaryotes, have defined set of DNA sequences, which is inherited from one generation to another and codes for all the characters of the organism.

Which statement below best describes whether or not there is an advantage of using iPSCs to induce repair of bodily damage within a patient over using embryonic stem cells that have been donated?
a. Because the iPSCs originated from the patient and thus probably will avoid rejection by the patient’s own immune system.
b. Embryonic stem cells are easier to obtain.
c. There are more ethical issues involved in iPSCs.
d. Only embryonic stem cells are vastly renewable.
Which of the following sudden changes might be a result of an infection?
a. increase in the activity of white blood cells
b. decrease in the activity of antigens produced by the mitochondria
c. decrease in the amount of DNA present in the nuclei of cells
d. increase in the number of red blood cells
Which of the following statements about potency is correct?
O A. Committed progenitors have more potency than totipotent stem cells.
B. Multipotent stem cells have higher potency than pluripotent stem cells.
C. Unipotent stem cells are different from normal somatic cells because they can self-renew.
D. Adult tissues have many totipotent stem cells in their niche.
