The pluripotent, undifferentiated cells in the bone marrow that give rise to the formed elements are called stem cells.
Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to undergo self-renewal and to give rise to all cells of the tissues of the body. However, this definition has been recently complicated by the existence of distinct cellular states that display these features.
There are two types of pluripotent stem cells :
- Embryonic stem cells (ESCs)
- Induced pluripotent stem cells
Embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of pre-implantation embryos and can be indefinitely maintained and expanded in the pluripotent state in vitro. Pluripotent stem cells can also be obtained by inducing dedifferentiation of adult somatic cells through a recently developed in vitro technology, known as cell reprogramming.
Similarly to Embryonic stem cells , Induced pluripotent stem cells can be expanded indefinitely and they are capable to differentiate in all the derivatives of the three germ layers.
Another intriguing features of being pluripotent is its reliance on gene expression heterogeneity.

EXPERT ANSWERS
LINDA-ALLEN | CERTIFIED EDUCATOR
Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) was a German mystic who practiced a "science" that combined alchemy, magic, mysticism, and astrology. Two of his books are Three Books of Occult Philosophy and On Calling Spirits. Through the writing of Agrippa, Frankenstein becomes very interested in alchemy, which is a pseudoscience whose main object is to find a way of turning base metals into gold. You could say that Frankenstein adapted the thinking of the alchemists and instead of transforming other metals into gold attempted to transform a corpse into a living being.
An interesting story about Agrippa concerns sightings of him after his death:
There were rumors that Agrippa had summoned demons on his death bed, and that a black dog roamed the countryside as his familiar. The black dog appears in tales as Faustus, Mephistopheles, and even as a grim in the Harry Potter series.
Gizzard
Birds such as chicken, doves and others, and earthworms have gizzard which are responsible for storing and softening the consumed food in their digestive tract. The gizzard serves as the grinder of these food in preparation of the absorptive phase of the G.I tract.
Answer:
Hypothalamus
Explanation:
The hypothalamus is involved in different daily activities like eating or drinking, in the control of the body's temperature and energy maintenance, and in the process of memorizing and in stress control. It also modulates the endocrine system through its connections with the pituitary gland.
Answer:
transcription of mRNA from DNA
small ribosomal subunit binds to mRNA
initiation complex formed with addition of large ribosomal subunit
translocation
codon recognition (non-initiating site)
peptide bond formation
ribosome reads a stop codon
polypeptide chain is released from the P site
ribosomal subunits dissociate
Explanation:
The above describes the process of translation in the ribosome. After transcription of DNA to mRNA, the mRNA is taken to the ribosome to undergo translation, here the mRNA binds to the small ribosomal subuits and to other initiation factors; binding at the mRNA binding site on the small ribosomal subunit then the Large ribosomal subunits joins in.
Translation begins (codon recognition; initiating site) at the initiation codon AUG on the mRNA with the tRNA bringing its amino acid (methionine in eukaryotes and formyl methionine in prokaryotes) forming complementary base pair between its anticodon and mRNA's AUG start codon. Then translocation occurs with the ribosome moving one codon over on the mRNA thus moving the start codon tRNA from the A site to the P site, then codon recognition occurs (non-initiating site again) which includes incoming tRNA with an anticodon that is complementary to the codon exposed in the A site binds to the mRNA.
Then peptide bond formation occurs between the amino acid carried by the tRNA in the p site and the A site. When the ribosome reads a stop codon, the process stops and the polypeptide chain produced is released and the ribosomal subunits dissociates.
