1. Are Pluripotent – have the
potential to give rise to all
the cell types of the body
2. Can self renew – when
they divide, they give rise to
more stem cells
3. There are 2 main types of
stem cells – in the embryo
and in the adult

1. The nucleus contains genetic material
in structures called chromosomes
Duplicated
chromosome
2. Chromosomes are long strands of
DNA wrapped around a protein core
3. DNA is made of 4 chemical bases:
A, T, C & G

4. Sequences of chemical bases make up
genes

5. Animals share common genes
6. Genes are the basic units of heredity

1. Begins with genes in the nucleus
2. Genes have a code consisting of A, T, C and G
3. The code is “transcribed” into RNA (a messenger)
4. Messenger RNA (mRNA) brings the code to the cytoplasm
5. The genetic code uses groups of three bases (ie. CCG, GUU) to
encode each amino acid of a protein chain
6. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins (there are 22
amino acids)
7. Proteins are long chains of amino acids

PROTEINS
Gene regulation
• Some proteins termed “transcription factors” regulate the flow
of genetic information.
• These are nuclear proteins capable of binding DNA.
• They regulate the process of gene transcription in immature and
differentiated cells.
• Transcription factors are essential for the processes of
development and stem cell maintenance.
16
Signaling proteins are essential for
cell-to-cell communication
Secreted signaling molecules
References
Lecture notes (hyperlink)
Activity notes (hyperlink)
More links…
• Secreted proteins
• Form gradients when secreted
from cells
• Function by binding proteins
(receptors) at the surface of the
plasma membrane
• Activate intracellular proteins &
signaling transduction pathways
that relay information from the
surface to inside the cell

• Every nucleus contains a complete genome established in the
fertilized egg (with a few exceptions).
• The mouse genome contains tens of thousands of genes, and
the human genome about 25,000 genes, but many are not
expressed in all tissues.
• Many genes are differentially expressed in various tissues or
organs.
• Unused genes in differentiated cells are not destroyed or
mutated – they retain the potential to be expressed.
• Only a small percentage of the genome is expressed in each
cell.
