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.

What are the down sides of Genetic Engineering?
The dominant gene (G) produces green hair in mermaids and the recessive gene (g) produces blue hair. Webbed fingers are due to the dominant gene (F) and normal fingers are recessive (f). A mermaid who was heterozygous for hair color and who had normal fingers had a father with blue hair and webbed fingers and a mother with green hair and webbed fingers. What are the genotypes of all individuals (as completely as possible)?

A number of plant species have a recessive allele for albinism; homozygous albino (white) individuals are unable to synthesize chlorophyll. If a tobacco plant heterozygous for albinism is allowed to self-pollinate and 500 seeds germinate: a)how many offspring will be the same genotype as the parent? b)how many seedlings would you expect to be white?
what is the difference between nullisomic and double monosomic?
In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
