Question 22

Bone marrow stem cells are a source of various blood cells, including erythrocytes and neutrophils.

Which statement about these stem cells and the specialised cells they produce is correct?

Bone marrow stem cells are pluripotent and can differentiate into any embryonic cell type.

Mature neutrophils derived from bone marrow stem cells have a lobed nucleus which allows them to squeeze through narrow blood vessel walls.

Erythrocytes retain a high density of mitochondria to supply ATP for the active transport of oxygen molecules.

Bone marrow stem cells divide by meiosis to create genetically varied progenitor cells.
