Answer:

The answer is "Hematopoietic stem cell."

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of stem cell that gives rise to red and white blood cells is the Hematopoietic stem cell. These stem cells are found in the bone marrow and are multipotent, meaning they can give rise to different types of blood cells. In adults, hematopoiesis, the process by which all mature blood cells are produced, occurs in the red bone marrow, in the core of most bones. Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to different types of blood cells, in lines called myeloid and lymphoid. Myeloid cells include monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, erythrocytes, and megakaryocytes to platelets. Lymphoid cells include T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, and innate lymphoid cells.
