Induced pluripotent stem cells are cells from adults that have been reprogrammed to imitate embryonic stem cells. why might induced pluripotent stem cells be a valuable tool in science and medicine? a. induced pluripotent stem cells are derived from adult cells and therefore may have dna abnormalities, allowing scientists to understand the effects of sun exposure or toxins on dna. b. induced pluripotent stem cells may become any cell type in the body, but are fraught with ethical questions over their use. c. induced pluripotent stem cells are the only type of stem cell that's truly pluripotent. d. induced pluripotent stem cells can become any cell type in the body, but are from adults, avoiding the controversies associated with embryonic stem cells.
