Background Information
A stem cell is a cell from which new cells with specialized functions are formed. Stem cells divide by
mitosis to produce new cells that serve one of two purposes. One purpose is self-renewal. Through this
process, stem cells divide and create more stem cells. The other purpose is differentiation. This occurs
when a stem cell divides and one daughter cell retains stem cell properties while the other creates a
specialized cell such as a heart cell, skin cell, or brain cell.
