Stem Cells Embryonic Define Pluripotent Capable Dividing Produce

Pluripotent stem cells (embryonic stem cells) can differentiate into all cell types but cannot form extra-embryonic membranes, thus not a complete organism.

Pluripotent stem cells, also known as embryonic stem cells, can divide to produce all cell types but not extra-embryonic membranes, thus not a whole organism.

Front Define pluripotent.
Back Pluripotent - stem cells capable of dividing to produce all cell types but not the extra embryonic membranes so not a whole organism
  • Commonly referred to as embryonic stem cells
