Question

consider the three different types of stem cells. each one’s ability to differentiate into new cells is slightly different. one type can differentiate into any cell, while another can only become specific cells. select the answer that places the three types in the correct order, from widest range of differentiation to least able to differentiate (specific). (1 point) pluripotent, multipotent, totipotent totipotent, multipotent, pluripotent totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent pluripotent, totipotent, multipotent

Explanation:

Totipotent stem cells can differentiate into any cell type (including extra - embryonic cells). Pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into many cell types (but not extra - embryonic cells). Multipotent stem cells can only differentiate into a limited number of specific cell types. So, the order from the widest range of differentiation to the least is totipotent (most versatile), pluripotent (less than totipotent but still very versatile), and multipotent (least versatile among the three).

Answer:

totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent
