question 35 of 50
a brain stem cell only produces its own type of cell. which type of stem cell is this brain stem cell?
a. pluripotent
b. unipotent
c. multipotent
d. totipotent

Explanation:

Unipotent stem cells can only differentiate into one type of cell. In this case, the brain stem cell only produces its own type of cell, which matches the definition of unipotent stem cells. Pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into many cell types (but not all), multipotent stem cells can differentiate into a limited number of related cell types, and totipotent stem cells can differentiate into any cell type (including extra - embryonic cells).

Answer:

B. Unipotent
