Why is the discovery of multipotent cells valuable? A. because multipotent cells have the ability to specialize and heal greatly damaged tissue B. because multipotent cells can be harnessed to produce hormones for commercial production C. because multipotent cell lines are easy to establish and maintain for research D. because multipotent cells are the key to understanding many different cancers

Answer 1

The discovery of multipotent cells is valuable because multipotent cells have the ability to specialize and heal greatly damaged tissues. Multipotent cells are stem cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into multiple specialized cell types present in a specific tissue or organ.
