question 1
whether in embryos or adults, stem cells have the unique capability to develop into a cell with a specific or specialized function. this process is called ______.
answer
○ replication
○ metastasis
○ differentiation
○ angiogenesis
○ i dont know yet

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Replication: Involves DNA or cell copying, not specialization.
• Metastasis: Related to cancer cell spread, not stem cell specialization.
• Differentiation: Process where stem cells become specialized cells (e.g., muscle, nerve cells).
• Angiogenesis: Formation of new blood vessels, not cell specialization.

So the correct term for stem cells developing into specialized cells is differentiation.

Answer:

C. differentiation
