Answer: The correct answer is True

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific evidence has proven that adult stems cells are capable of creating different types of cells (such as bone marrow stem cells replicating heart muscle). The totipotent stem cells can differentiate into cells of an entire organism and have the potential to even create entire embryonic structures. Under ideal conditions, stem cells are capable of making copies of themselves indefinitely.
