Question

Adult stem cells are pluripotent and can generate cell tissue of the body. embryonic stem cells have a more restricted capacity to generate different cell types. group of answer choices

a. both statements are true.
b. both statements are false.
c. the first statement is true; the second statement is false.
d. the first statement is false; the second statement is true.

Answer 1

Adult stem cells are multipotent and more limited than embryonic stem cells, which are pluripotent and can differentiate into any cell type in the body. Therefore, the correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the question is D. The first statement is false; adult stem cells are multipotent and can generate cell types specific to the tissues they come from, not all types of body tissue. On the other hand, embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and can differentiate into any cell type of the body, but cannot support the full development of an organism.
