A stem cell divides into two daughter cells and one of the daughter cells goes on to become a terminally differentiated cell. What is the typical fate of the other daughter cell?

Respuesta :

Answer: The other daughter cell will remain undifferentiated.

Explanation:

Stem cells are cells that are capable of self renew and can differentiate leading to repair of injury and maintain or control homeostasis.

Stem cells undergo different kind of cell division, one of it is assymetric cell division. In assymetric cell division, stem cell divide into two daughter cells. On daughter cell become terminally differentiated and the other remain undifferentiated.This is done by to balance the number of stem cells and differentiated progeny produced in the tissue for proper functioning and the process is called Self renewality.
