What is the importance of stem cells within human bodies? Choose all that apply.

Scientists are interested in studying stem cells due to their specific role in producing different types of cells.

Stem cells are the type of cells that produce haploid daughter cells used in reproduction.

Plants are the only type of organisms that contain stem cells—located in the stems and roots.

Stem cells carry instructional coding in order to produce every other cell type in your bodies.

Stem cells are the only type of cells that go through cell differentiation.

Stem cells are the specific kind of cells that have the ability to develop into a cell of another type like the nerve cell, brain cells, heart muscle or bone. They also have the quality or regeneration or self renewal which will renew them into new cells again. It is this quality that interests the scientists world over to research on stem cells

They try to find new ways to study stem cells to understand the emergence of regenerative diseases and the cure for such diseases. The property of generating new cells helps in bone marrow transplants. The cells have the property to change into a different type of cell which will help scientists develop a desired type of cell to test new drugs.

Hence the first and fourth statements are the ones that are true

Statement 2 does not apply because stem cells are the cells that can be developed into any other type of cell

Statement 3 does not apply because humans also have stem cells

Statement 5 does not apply because all cells go through cell differentiation
