but just a cell that has the stem cell character.

What does that mean to have the stem cell character?
-
It means that if I took this cell
-
and isolated and watched it,
-
I'd notice that it had a couple of characteristics.
-
One is that it's capable of something called asymmetrical division.
-
We talked about division last time.
-
We talked about the parent cell
-
forming two identical daughter cells.
-
An asymmetrical division is not like that,
-
it's when a parent cell forms two cells
-
that are different in some way.
