Materno-fetal microchimerism results in an exchange of cells between mother and fetus, and are thought to be important for improving resource allocations for the developing fetus, and important for maternal health and well-being. Some of these cells are stem cells, or self-renewing cells. Which of the following does not accurately describe stem cells and how they could result in these beneficial outcomes for the mother and developing fetus? The cells passed from fetus to mother are adult stem cells, therefore can replenish the mother's adult tissues. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into specialized cell types, including the brain, thyroid, breast and immune cells of the mother. The stem cells that target tissues associated with resource allocation in the mother can divide over and over to produce new cells. The stem cells that target tissues associated with resource allocation in the mother can change into all of the cell types of the body. O The cells passed from fetus to mother are embryonic stem cells, therefore can replenish the mother's adult tissues.
