Question

Stem cells ____. ​are found only in cancerous tumors ​are immature cells that become nerve tissue susceptible to cancer ​have the property of self-renewal by division ​are the least likely to give rise to cancer ​do not have the ability to divide

Answer 1

Stem cells differ from other kinds of cells in the body. All stem cells have three genereal characteristics regardless of their source: they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods; they are unspecialized and lastly, they can give rise to specialized cell types.

Moreover, stem cells are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods of time. Unlike other cells such as muscles cells, blood cells or nerve cells-which are incapable of self-replicating- stem cells may replicate or proliferate many times.

The answer would be: stem cells ​have the property of self-renewal by division
