Question 4 of 4
4. Question
Consider the following statements
1.“Human embryo” can be grown using stem cells in the lab without using an egg or sperm.
2.Lab-grown embryos can be used to get pregnant.
Select the incorrect answer from options?Correct
Answer:(B)
Explanation:
Scientists have successfully grown a “human embryo” in the lab without using an egg or
sperm. They used a mix of stem cells — early cells that have the ability to differentiate into
other types of cells — that was able to spontaneously assemble into an embryo-like structure,
mimicking molecular characteristics of an early embryo.
The scientists have called it one of the most complete models of a 14-day-old human
embryo.
Can lab-grown embryos be used to get pregnant?
