use of adult stem cells.

O
C. There is no controversy surrounding the use of embryonic stem
cells.
D. Embryonic stem cells are able to differentiate into a wider range of

Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Embryonic cells can indeed differentiate much more than adult cells, which gives them an advantage over adult cells. A. and B. are both not the correct answer, and C. is false as there is much controversy over the use of embryonic stem cells.

Answer 2

d. Embryonic stem cells are able to differentiate into a wider range of cells than adult stem cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Embryonic stem cells has the capability to make any cell in the body because of pluripotent. Adult stem cells can divide but not at the same frequency as the embryonic stem cells do. Embryonic stem cells can be easily cultured. But when it comes to adult stem cells its cultured is quite difficult and not yet tried. The adult stem cells are likely to be banned being transplantation. The adult stem cell will not be dismissed by the immune system of the person if the stem cells are from same person.
