Question
which type of stem cell is able to differentiate into any cell type, including extraembryonic placental cells? (1 point) embryonic cells multipotent cells pluripotent cells totipotent cells
Brief Explanations
- Embryonic cells: While embryonic stem cells are pluripotent (can differentiate into many cell types), they cannot form extraembryonic placental cells.
- Multipotent cells: These can only differentiate into a limited range of cell types within a particular tissue or organ.
- Pluripotent cells: Can develop into many cell types but not extraembryonic placental cells.
- Totipotent cells: These are the most undifferentiated stem cells. They have the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body, including extraembryonic placental cells.
