What type of cells are made by the process of meiosis?
Sexual cells or gametes (egg cell or sperm cells, etc)
1 of 13
Explain how four gametes are produced or made from the original cell.
There are two sets of cell division; a body cell divides into two then each divides again.

What are stem cells?
A stem cell has the potential to become any type that we would need for our body. So if we needed a say a brain cell, the stem cell would haave the ability to become a brain cell.

What are the advantages of stem cells?
They can help cure illnesses and injuries due to the potential to change to any cell needed.

Name two places where we can get stem cells?
The bone marrow, embryos.

Where are the stem cells found in the in the adult humans?
