What to Focus On
- Cell biology is also called cytology.
- It studies cell structure, organelles, division, and related processes.
- NCCS, Pune and Instem, Bengaluru are important cell research institutes in India.
- Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that produce other cell types.
- Embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells are the two main types.
- Cell differentiation starts on the 14th day of conception.
- Stem cells help in regenerative therapy.
- They can replace dead cells in disease conditions.
- They help in making blood cells for blood disorders.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Stem cells are only found in embryos, so adults do not have stem cells.
Any stem cell collected from the embryo can form any cell type at any time.
Reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning are the same thing.
