Question

which of the following statements about stem cells is true? choose 1 answer a all stem cells have the same level of potency. b stem cells lose parts of their genetic material during cellular differentiation. c stem cells are unspecialized cells.

Explanation:

Stem cells are undifferentiated or unspecialized cells with the potential to develop into different cell types. They do not all have the same potency (e.g., totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent). Also, during cellular differentiation, they do not lose parts of their genetic material; instead, certain genes are selectively expressed.

Answer:

C. Stem cells are unspecialized cells.
