What is one risk of using stem cells from donors?

• Improved stem cell culture

• Enhanced cell differentiation

• Increased immune system strength

• Rejection by the patient's immune system

What are immunosuppressants used for in stem cell treatment?

• To strengthen the patient's immune system

• To stimulate cell division

• To weaken the patient's immune system

• To remove the patient's nucleus

How are stem cells produced through therapeutic cloning different from donor stem cells?

• They are less effective for medical treatments

• They are more resistant to rejection

• They have different genes from the patient

• They have the same genes as the patient

What is the first step in therapeutic cloning?

• Removing the nucleus from a cell of the patient

• Stimulating the cell to divide into an embryo

• Transferring the patient's nucleus to the donor egg cell

• Removing the nucleus from a donor's egg cell

What is the purpose of the electric shock in therapeutic cloning?

• To enhance the stem cell culture

• To weaken the patient's immune system

• To remove the patient's nucleus

• To stimulate the cell to divide into an embryo

What is the next step after the embryo is stimulated to divide in therapeutic cloning?

• The patient's nucleus is transferred to the donor egg cell

• The nucleus is removed from a cell of the patient

• The cell is stimulated to divide into an embryo

• Stem cells are removed from the embryo and cultured

What does it mean to culture stem cells?

• To weaken the patient's immune system

• To enhance the stem cell culture

• To artificially make more stem cells

• To remove the stem cells from the embryo

What can stem cells be made to differentiate into?

• Any cell type needed

• Only skin cells

• Only nerve cells

• Only pancreatic cells
