Stem cells are cells that have not undergone differentiation. A cell which has not yet become specialised is called undifferentiated.

An embryo develops from a fertilised egg. Cells at the early stages in the development of the embryo are stem cells.

If cells are removed from the embryo – called embryonic stem cells - they will differentiate into any cell type.

Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults – adult stem cells. Adult stem cells are found in limited numbers at certain locations in the body.

Adult stem cells can be found in several regions of the body, including the:

brain

eyes

blood

heart

liver

bone marrow

skin

muscle

Adult stem cells can differentiate into related cell types only, for example, bone marrow cells can differentiate into blood cells and cells of the immune system but not other cell types.

Stem cells in plants

Cell division in plants occurs in regions called meristems.

Cells of the meristem can differentiate to produce all types of plant cells at any time during the life of the plant.

The main meristems are close to the tip of the shoot, and the tip of the root.

Cells of the meristem can differentiate to produce all types of plant cells at any time during the life of the plant. The main meristems are close to the tip of the shoot, and the tip of the root.

In a growing shoot, new cells are being produced continuously near the tip. As the cells become older, further away from the tip, they become differentiated – they enlarge and develop vacuoles.

Stem cells are divided into 2 main forms. They are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. The embryonic stem cells used in research today come from unused embryos.

Multicellular organisms use cell division, mitosis, for growth and the maintenance and repair of cells and tissues. single-celled organisms may use cell division as their method of reproduction. regardless of the reason for mitosis, the process ensures genetic continuity. what is the step in the cell cycle that ensure genetic continuity?

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.
