Answer:
In the differentiation of neurons, stem cell undergoes mitosis, two daughter cells are produced, one daughter cell is a neuron, one daughter cell is identical to stem cell.
Explanation:
Stem cells are cells capable of originating several cell lines, due to the process of cell differentiation.
In the case of neural stem cells, they can differentiate into neurons —the functional unit— and into glia cells, which give support and nutrition to the former.
To form the nervous system, neural stem cells go through two mitotic divisions, one symmetrical and one asymmetrical.
- In symmetric mitosis, each stem cell will produce two identical stem cells.
- Asymmetric mitosis will produce two daughter cells, a neuron and a identical stem cell.
This same type of division makes it possible to differentiate stem cells into glial cells.
