One of the newest applications of cell technology is called cybrid embryos. this process involves replacing the nuclear material of an animal cell with human nuclear material. how might this process affect public policies about research by using stem cells? the same policies and concerns about the use of human embryonic stem cells would most likely apply. the embryos would most likely be treated like traditional animal embryos and regulated accordingly. the process of forming cybrid embryos would most likely be banned by government regulators. the embryos would be treated as regular cells because they are not fully human in origin.

There are few cells in the body that do not undergo mitosis: most somatic cells divide regularly, some more than others. take for example the cells that line the digestive tract. these cells must be frequently replaced because they are constantly eroded by the movement of food through the tract. what mechanism(s) is/are in place to ensure that these cells are exact copies of the mother cell
