Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While totipotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell, they are only found in the earliest stages of embryonic development. In adults, the most potent stem cells are pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into many different cell types but not all. There are also multipotent stem cells, which are more limited in their differentiation potential and are found in various adult tissues.
