Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to differentiate into any kind of body cells like muscle, skin, heart etc.

There is alot of research being conducted on the stem cells because they have the potential to treat almost any kind of disease. This is because they are embryonic cells that can be specialized into a person's any type of body cells. When stem cells are specialized into the any kind of body's cells like cardiac, muscular, they can repair all the damaged cells and replace them with the new and healthy cells.

Currently, they are being used to repair:

  • Nerve cells that are damaged due to some injuries like stroke, spinal injury,  Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer's and other such neurological disorders.
  • They can repair insulin producing cells so millions of people can be treated against diabetes and other problems that arise due to diabetes like kidney and cardiac issues.
  • They have the ability to repair almost any kind of injured tissue.
  • They can provide clues of muscle re-pairment like how organs are repaired after an injury, trauma or problem like heart attack.
  • Stems cells can be used to make new drugs and minimize the side effect of the drugs.
  • This is a fascinating area of science that has the potential to repair any damaged organ of human without getting it replaced by a new one.

Hope it help!

Water has special characteristics because of the nature of hydrogen bonds what are they?
Amanda [17]

Water has special characteristics because liquid water is denser than ice and ice floats on top of liquid water​.

Answer: Option A & D

<u>Explanation:</u>

A water molecule is formed by the covalent bonding between two atoms of Hydrogen atom with one atom of Oxygen. In water, the Hydrogen bonds are the one that keeps the water molecule intact.  

When the water molecule freezes the bonding becomes weak as they are separated and set apart which makes the liquid water denser than ice. Normally a substance floats if it is less dense. Ice floats because it is less dense than water.

What would happen to zygote if the egg and sprem cells weren't formed with the correct number of chromosomes?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

A zygote can end up with one fewer chromosome than normal because one of the fertilizing gametes was missing a chromosome. This deletion, called nondisjunction, happened while the gamete was forming.
