Question

Marcus is admitted to the hospital for a bone marrow stem cell transplant from his brother. What will happen after his brother’s stem cells are transplanted into Marcus?

Answer 1

Once the bone marrow stem cells are transplanted into Marcus, the process of mitosis takes place in those cells and they multiply in number, hence fulfilling the purpose.

When bone marrow cells from one patient is transferred to another patient, the process of mitosis takes place in those cells and they divide into daughter cells, thus giving rise to healthy tissue in the body of the receiver.

Thanks for asking. I hope it was helpful.

Answer 2

The correct option would be B. The stem cells will divide through mitosis to create diploid stem cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis can be described as a process by which all cells of the body replicate. The cell undergoing mitosis results in two diploid daughter cells.

Bone stem cell is a therapy in which stem cells from a donor are inserted into a patient so that the patient can form healthy tissues.

The stem cells, when given to a patient, will divide just like the normal cells of the body through the process of mitosis. The results will be two daughter cells having diploid chromosomes.
