Read the following excerpt about stem cells. Then use your knowledge about gene regulation to make a claim as to why stem
cells function differently from differentiated cells
Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in
many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person
or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of
cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell
