Answer 2

The correct answer is option c. "not pluripotent"

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult stem cells are natural undifferentiated cells used within the body for regeneration purposes. The main disadvantage of use adult stem cells for medical treatments is that this type of cells are not pluripotent. Pluropotency refers to the ability of the cells to differentiate in any kind of new cell. Adult stem cells are not pluripotent they are multipotent, which limits the type of cells that could be regenerated by using these cells in medicine.
