PLEAS HEL Read the following excerpt about stem cells. Then use your knowledge about gene regulation to make a claim as to
why stem cells function differently from differentiated cells.
Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In
addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other
cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain
a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a
brain cell.

Lactase is essential for digesting lactose in milk. this enzyme is specific for this sugar. why? molecules and active sites vary in size; only properly sized molecules can fit. there is a precise compatibility between the active site and the lactose molecule. specificity refers to the action of the enzyme, such as hydrolysis, and relatively few molecules can be hydrolyzed. reaction-specific enzymes assume a fit by folding around the most numerous substrate molecules.
