Figure 1
Deterministic and stochastic models of stem cell population dynamics. Open circles represent stem cells and filled circles represent TA cells. The probability that either two stem cells (and no TA cells), or two TA cells (and no stem cells) result from the division of a stem cell is q. The probability that one stem cell and one TA cell result is P. The deterministic model assumes that q = 0 and P = 1 and the stochastic model assumes that P < 1 and q > 0.
