What is the role of stem cells with regard to the function of adult tissues and organs?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide asymmetrically, giving rise to one daughter that remains a stem cell and one daughter that will differentiate to replace damaged and worn out cells in the adult tissue or organ.
  2. Stem cells are embryonic cells that persist in the adult, and can give rise to all of the cell types in the body.
  3. Stem cells are determined cells that reside in fully differentiated tissues and can, when needed, differentiate to supply new cells for growth of the tissue.
  4. Stem cells are differentiated cells that have yet to express the genes and proteins characteristic of their differentiated state, and do so when needed for repair of tissues and organs.

Following statements are regarding to the wingless gene in drosophila.

A. In the cells transcribing the wingless gene, wingless mRNA is translocated by its 3’UTR to the apex of the cell. At the apex, the wingless message is translated and secreted from the cell.

B. The cells expressing engrailed can bind this protein because they contain Patched, which is the Drosophila membrane receptor protein for Wingless.

C. Binding of Wingless to Frizzled activates the hedgehog signal transduction pathway, resulting in the continued expression of engrailed.

D. Wingless protein also acts in an autocrine fashion, maintaining its own expression.
