Question

Which stem cells are capable of only limited differentiation?
A. Adult stem cells
B. Amniotic fluid stem cells
C. Embryonic stem cells
D. Somatic stem cells

Answer 1

A. Adult stem cells is the correct answer.

The adult stem cells consist of rare mature tissues, which are limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer would be A, adult stem cells.

Adult stem cells are self renewing undifferentiated cells which are present in the body.

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent in nature, that is, they can differentiate into any type of cells. In contrast, adult stem cells can differentiate only in limited types of cells or tissues, that is, they are multipotent in nature.
