- I am confused about how stem cell transplants works. If you put a semi differentiated tadpole nucleus in a denucleated egg cell, it’ll develop into a fully formed tadpole, but if you put a fully differentiated tadpole nucleus, it won’t (because the genes have already been expressed in a way where the cytoplasmic determinants cannot operate to the fullest). Then how come in stem cell transplants, you use adult nucleuses that are already developed and transplant them into the denucleated egg cells?arrow_forwardResearchers have identified a mutation in the LMNA gene, which encodes some of the pro- teins in the nuclear envelope to be associated with the development of muscular dystrophy and other auto-immune diseases. Which of the following best describes a likely direct effect of a mutation of the LMNA gene? A It directly alters the production of ATP within the affected cells. B с D It directly alters the intake of nutrients in the affected cells. It directly alters the folding of proteins into their functional shape. It directly alters the synthesis of proteins from nucleic acid sequences within the af- fected cells.arrow_forwardWhat is an induced pluripotent stem cell? a.
