Amniotic fluid is a source of stem cells that has the characteristics of self-renewal and limited differentiation.

Further Explanation:

The main characteristic of a stem cell is self-renewal and limited differentiation. This characteristic of the stem cell is present in the amniotic fluid also The amniotic fluid is a transparent yellowish liquid that presents around the unborn baby during pregnancy. It is present in the amniotic sac.

The main functions of amniotic fluid are:

To help in moving babies in the womb, this movement helps in proper growth of bone.
To help in develops lungs properly.
To prevents stress on the umbilical cord.
To maintain the temperature around the fetus, defend from loss of heat.
To protect the fetus from outside damage by cushioning sudden movements.

The amniotic fluid consists of cells that are able to form a wide range of different cells. However, amniotic fluid can form liver, brain, fat, muscle cell, blood vessels and bone in the correct environment but they are not pluripotent in nature.

The stem cells possessing the characteristic of self-renewal and limited differentiation are present in the amniotic fluid.

The cells present in the amniotic fluid are capable of forming a wide array of different cells. However, they are not pleuripotent, but when grown in the right environment they can form brain, liver, fat, blood vessels, bone and muscle cells.

Hence, the answer is 'Option C - amniotic fluid'.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Scientists are studying a group of ant colonies in the Arizona desert. Which question about the ants can be answered scientifically?

Explanation:

The correct answer will be option- Does the amount of sunlight in a day affect how much food the ants eat that day.

Explanation:

A scientific method is a systematic approach to understand and explain any natural phenomenon in nature. The scientific method involves making, ask a scientific question, do background research and propose a hypothesis which could be tested to produce a real answer to the scientific questions.

In the given question, the scientist wants to study the ants in the desert through scientific method. The possible question that could be answered will be the how the amount of light can affect the quantity of food consumed by ants as the amount of food can be studied through the experiments by proposing a hypothesis.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

In general, the land changes temperature much more rapidly than the ocean. How does this fact explain the existence of land bree

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Land and sea breeze are produced because the land changes temperature rapidly than the ocean.

Explanation:

The rates of heating up of land and sea are different. Land gets heated up faster than water. Temperature is crucial in determining the density of air.

When land gets heated up the air near the land turns hot and this temperature is greater than the temperature of the air near the water surface. Hotter air has less density than the air which is relatively less warm. Density difference creates pressure difference. 

Denser air has higher pressure than less dense air making air move from area of high pressure to area of low pressure. During the day the land is heated up more and thus air move from sea to land and it is called sea breeze. Just like it absorbs heat land releases heat at a faster rate.

Thus at night land the sea will be warmer than the sea and thus air will move from the land to the sea and it is called land breeze.
