Stem Cell and Its Types

Stem cells in...

Question

Stem cells in animals are pluripotent cells as they possess the potential of giving rise to many types of cell lineage. Presence of stem cell in a differentiated tissue gives it potential to regenerate. From the combination of tissues presented below, predict the best combination of tissues containing maximum and minimum amount of stem cells respectively.

Solution

The correct option is C Liver and Brain
The liver is known to have the maximum capacity to regenerate due to the presence of stem cells. These stem cells have the capability to divide and develop into new tissues. The brain has the least capacity of regeneration and so there are almost no stem cells in the brain.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
