Gene Expression Quick Check 3 of 53 of 5 Items 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) Responses totipotent, multipotent, pluripotent totipotent, multipotent, pluripotent totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent pluripotent, totipotent, multipotent pluripotent, totipotent, multipotent pluripotent, multipotent, totipotent pluripotent, multipotent, totipotent Skip to navigation page 12 of 12

The correct order of stem cells from widest range of differentiation to least able to differentiate (most specific) is:
**Totipotent, Pluripotent, Multipotent**
So the correct response is: **totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent.**
- **Totipotent** stem cells can differentiate into any cell type, including all types of cells in the body and the extraembryonic (placental) tissues.
- **Pluripotent** stem cells can give rise to nearly all cell types, but cannot form whole organisms as they cannot make the extraembryonic tissues.
- **Multipotent** stem cells are limited to differentiating into a limited range of cell types, usually within a specific tissue or organ.
**Totipotent, Pluripotent, Multipotent**
So the correct response is: **totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent.**
- **Totipotent** stem cells can differentiate into any cell type, including all types of cells in the body and the extraembryonic (placental) tissues.
