Answer / swapna
A stem cell is a generic cell that can make exact copies of
itself indefinitely. It is a precursor cell that has the
ability to make specialized cells for various tissues in
the body (such as heart muscle, brain tissue and liver
tissue).
Stem cell research is expected to impact advances in curing
diseases such as Alzheimer?s and Parkinson?s disease,
diabetes, spinal cord injury, heart disease, stroke,
arthritis, and cancer.

A single cell of animal doesn't have the ability to generate
into a new organ.
But at the a particular embryonic stage,the cells have got the
ability to generate into an organ.
These cells are now isolated and grown into different media.
Depending upon the component present in the media, that
embryonic cells generates different organs.
These cells are called as stem cells.

Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?
In mice colored coat is dominant to albinism. Sniffles, a male mouse with a colored coat is mated to Esmeralda, an alluring albino. The resulting litter of six young all had colored fur. The next time around Esmeralda was mated with Whiskers, who was the same color as Sniffles; some of this litter were white. a)What are the probable genotypes of Sniffles, Esmeralda, and Whiskers? b) If a male of the 1st litterwas mated to a colored female of the 2nd litter, what phenotypic ratio might be expected among the offspring? c)What would be the expected results if a male of the 1st litter was mated to an albino from the 2nd?
