    Introduction All living organisms are composed of very important building blocks called cells. Cells are composed of genomes that identify an organism’s traits found in the cell’s nucleus. In plants, genomes are found in chloroplasts. Cells are continuously working to reproduce new identical cells during a process called, Mitosis. This progression consists of two phases; Interphase and the Mitotic Phase. Mitosis consists of four major phases; Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Towards

Spite of stem cells exist in adult tissue, they’re not present in big amounts, so they can be hard to find and to extract for growth. They may also be difficult to grow into large batches of unspecialized cells in the laboratory, which is very necessary if they’re needed in a disease treatment. Their ability to transform into different kinds of cells seems to be
