Question 2 • PMHS Biology I Q2

Which cells are considered immortal?

Answer
A
neurons
B
blood cells
C
cardiac muscle cells
D
stem cells

Explanation

Stem cells can self-renew, producing more stem cells over many rounds of cell division. This gives them the capacity for long-term, potentially indefinite growth under suitable conditions, unlike mature neurons, blood cells, and cardiac muscle cells, which do not continually renew themselves in the same way. Therefore, the correct choice is stem cells.
