Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Therapeutic cloning involves initiating the development of a blastocyst from a patient's tissue using nuclear transplant procedures. The blastocyst contains embryonic stem cells, which can then be harvested for therapeutic purposes. Germ line cells and somatic cells do not have the capacity to differentiate into all types of cells, whereas embryonic stem cells do. Therefore, A is the best choice.
