The sentence: Scientists have recently received permission to research embryonic stem cells, derived from blastocysts or early stage embryos, which they believe to be capable of generating new cell growth and curing previously incurable ailments.
Kaplan says this is correct as is, but isn't the "they" in the underlined portion ambiguous in that is could refer to "scientists" or "embryonic stem cells" or "blastocysts" or more importantly how about the "WHICH"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Which" means refer to the noun immediately preceding the "which"....in this case "early stage embryos" = the pronoun "they" after the which. Is this not correct??? At the very least can you at least give me that the "they" is ambiguous with FOUR possible plural antecedents!?!?

I am sure whoever posted this question has already tahen gmat. But i will still answer ur question.
There is something called Logical Antecedent. Despite multiple nouns of same number, there may be only one logical antecedent.
Its the exact same case in the above question. Cells cant believe or think, but scientist can. Therefore "they" correctly represents scientist. The use of which is also correct. I am not sure how to explain you that but its correct.
