Introduction
Key concepts are: blastocyst, totipotential, pluripotential, embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells.
The lecture slides and textbook alone contain enough
information as an introduction to the subject for this level
of study. If you are interested in further reading, I have
also included below links to more detailed textbooks with
further information and images. Please note this additional
information is not necessarily examinable, but may be useful
if you have not previously studied biology.
