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.
