Answers

The stem cells possessing the characteristic of self-renewal and limited differentiation are present in the amniotic fluid.

The cells present in the amniotic fluid are capable of forming a wide array of different cells. However, they are not pleuripotent, but when grown in the right environment they can form brain, liver, fat, blood vessels, bone and muscle cells.

Hence, the answer is 'Option C - amniotic fluid'.

Answer from: anon1899

Amniotic fluid is a source of stem cells that has the characteristics of self-renewal and limited differentiation.

Further Explanation:

The main characteristic of a stem cell is self-renewal and limited differentiation. This characteristic of the stem cell is present in the amniotic fluid also The amniotic fluid is a transparent yellowish liquid that presents around the unborn baby during pregnancy. It is present in the amniotic sac.

The main functions of amniotic fluid are:

To help in moving babies in the womb, this movement helps in proper growth of bone. To help in develops lungs properly. To prevents stress on the umbilical cord. To maintain the temperature around the fetus, defend from loss of heat. To protect the fetus from outside damage by cushioning sudden movements.

The amniotic fluid consists of cells that are able to form a wide range of different cells. However, amniotic fluid can form liver, brain, fat, muscle cell, blood vessels and bone in the correct environment but they are not pluripotent in nature.

Astudent from one of the research labs is having trouble preparing a slide for examination and photographing. the bacterial slide that he has brought to you was prepared using a commercially purchased stain. he has asked for your in determining what he is doing wrong so that he can change the lab protocols and continue on with his project. after examining the slide under oil immersion, you determine that no bacteria are present even though the student is able to show you the culture he used to make that slide that has visible growth in the liquid medium. which of the following statements does not explain the fact that there are no bacteria present on the student’s slide? by not allowing a glass slide to completely air dry before heat fixation, the flame will cause the surrounding water to boil and this will damage the bacterial cell. overheating during the fixation step boiled the water within the bacterial cells and resulted in the cells bursting. insufficient heating of the slide did not drive out the thin layer of water and this resulted in minimal bonding between the bacteria and the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide.
