Question

consider the three different types of stem cells. each ones 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, totipotent, multipotent

totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent

totipotent, multipotent, pluripotent

pluripotent, multipotent, totipotent

Explanation:

Totipotent cells can differentiate into any cell type (including extraembryonic cells, the widest range). Pluripotent cells can develop into all body cell types but not extraembryonic cells. Multipotent cells can only differentiate into a limited, specific set of related cell types (the narrowest range).

Answer:

totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent
