can be transferred from the bone marrow of a healthy person to replace faulty blood cells
how can embryonic stem cells be used
to replace faulty cells in sick people :
make insulin-producing cells for people with diabetes.
nerve cells for people paralysed by spinal injury
therapeutic cloning
an embryo can be made to have the same genes as the patient to replace faulty cells - it wouldn't be rejected by patient's body. can be seen as ethically wrong as embryo can be seen as a potential human life
Throughout a plant's entire life cells in the Meristems can differentiate into any plant cell.
meristems cells can be used to
produce clones of whole plants quickly and cheaply
they can also be used to grow more plants of rare species
grow crops of identical plants that have desired features for farmers e.g disease resistance
