Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to
|
|
differentiate into the types of cell found in that tissue
|
|
|
differentiate into any type of cell
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into all of the cells of the adult body. Adult stem cells are found in a tissue or organ and can differentiate to yield the specialized cell types of that tissue or organ.
Detailed explanation-2: -For pluripotent stem cells, this functionality encompasses the ability to self-renew and also to differentiate into any cell type in the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Totipotent stem cells can differentiate into embryonic and extraembryonic cell types. These cells are produced from the fusion of an egg and sperm cell, and can construct a complete, viable organism. Cells produced by the first few divisions of the fertilized egg are also totipotent.
