Question 8 • HVA 26-27 IM Biology A
Stem cells can divide in ways that support both self-renewal and differentiation. Self-renewal produces at least one stem cell, maintaining the stem-cell population, while differentiation produces a cell with a more specialized role. Therefore, the best comparison is that both are processes resulting from stem cell division; they do not both create more of the same cell type or both form specialized cells.
