  • Stem Cells
    2 Key Features
    1. stem cells can divide by mitosis to form more cells (so 1 can divide into 2 ext.)
    2. stem cells can differentiate into specialized cells (so 1 stem cell could differentiate into a specialized nerve cell for example)
  • the baby's stem cells can form any type of cell whereas the adults stem cells can only form special cells E.g RBC (Red Blood Cells)
