Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (IPS) Differ from Embryonic Stem Cells

question 13

Multiple Choice

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) differ from embryonic stem cells (hES) because

• A) iPS cells are made with viruses rather than being harvested from an embryo
• B) iPS cells exhibit the same properties as hES cells but are made from adult somatic cells rather than embryonic cells.
• C) hES cells have the same DNA as their recipient and are less likely to be rejected than iPS cells.
• D) hES cells are more highly differentiated than iPS cells.
