Document Summary
Allows you to tell what your cells are up to during that time!! Crazy af b/c you have so many transcription factors in developing embryos than adults (important in controlling gene expression in our early life) Monozygotic twins are made because each daughter cell is ready to make a child after the zygote division. Totipotent: cell has access to its entire genome - has potential to give you a baby/tissues and placenta! stem cells to differentiate into any cell in an organism including embryonic tissue is an important distinguishing quality. A human totipotent stem cell can thus develop into any cell in the body, including placental cells. You have stem cells in the bone marrow that still have to be told what to do in the body. There might be stem cells in every organ we have - but idk :))) because of regenerating tissue like liver.
