Undifferenciated cells that can produce different cell types through differentiation
-Embryonic stem cells
-Adult stem cells
-Plant stem cells
Nearly any type of animal cell
Into some types of aninal cells e.g. blood cells
Any type of plant cell
In the meristem
A process in which we can produce embryonic stem cells that are generically identical to the patient
1-The nucleus of a fertilised embryo is removed
2-The nucleus of the patients body cell is removed and inserted into the fertilised embryo
3-This replicates via mitosis to create a ball of embryonic stem cells genetically identical to the patient
-Lack of consent of embryo as a potential life
-Unused embryos will be destroyed
-Risk of viral infection transfer or cancer
