Question
Stem cells produce exact copies of themselves in the process of:
Solution
The process by which stem cells produce exact copies of themselves is called "Cell Division" or specifically "Mitosis". Here are the steps:
-
Interphase: This is the phase where the cell prepares for division. The DNA is duplicated.
-
Prophase: The chromosomes condense and become visible. The nuclear envelope breaks down.
-
Metaphase: The chromosomes align in the middle of the cell.
-
Anaphase: The chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
-
Telophase: A new nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes.
-
Cytokinesis: The cell splits into two, each with an identical set of chromosomes.
This process ensures that each new cell has the same DNA as the original stem cell.

Stem cells are un-differentiated. This means that they haven’t yet to do a specific function. They can create more stem cells or differentiate (become a different type of body cell) to perform another function.
