A Blood Factory in a Bone Cave

After the burning trash pile that was last week’s attempts to delve further into physics, the science siblings are thrilled to be back in the warm comforting arms of biology. Mmmmmm cosy. Biology 3 picks up from where they left off last time with cell specialisation but this time Ron is teaching Laura about the all powerful totipotent cells: Stem Cells. Much to both Laura and Ron’s relief, Laura has heard of these. They chat uses for stem cells, where cem stella can be found in the body, Laura comes up with a really good film idea and Ron shoots it down. They discuss how cells divide and replicate, and how cloning can be used in people, plants and Royal Families to make sure the DNA is always good.
