Solution
- Pluripotency (the self-multiplying ability of undifferentiated stem cells by which they are capable of giving rise to all types of human cells) is shown in the given figure.
- X: Neuron, Y: Intestine
i. In the given diagram, we can observe that stem cells are capable of forming a variety of new cell types that can combine to form tissues and organs.
ii. With advances in biotechnology, if provided with specific chemicals/stimulus and optimum conditions, stem cells may develop into neurons, brain, intestines, liver, heart, and bone.
iii. These valuable organs could then be used for organ transplantation.
