Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the capability to give rise to any type of cell in the body. Differentiation is the process by which these cells become specialized into a specific cell type, such as a neuron. This process involves changes in gene expression and cellular structure, but does not necessarily involve significant growth or reproduction of the cell. Therefore, the best choice is E, differentiation.
