Question

When the embryo reaches about 500 cells, what best describes its growth and division? A. One daughter cell is a stem cell, one is a tissue cell, they stop being smaller than the parent cell B. Both daughter cells are stem cells at this point and are smaller than the parent cell C. Both daughter cells become specialized cells, they stop being smaller than the parent cell D. One daughter cell is a stem cell, one is a specialized tissue cell, both are smaller than the parent cell

Answer 1

B. Both daughter cells are stem cells at this point and are smaller than the parent cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

The embryo passes through several consecutive cell divisions. With each division, the daughter cells become smaller in relation to their mother cells. In addition, these cells are embryonic and can be called pluripotent. This is because they have the ability to transform into any type of cell that the human body needs, including tissue cells.
