pluripotent cells

Answer 1

Immediately after an embryo forms, it begins to replicate new cells that are considered totipotent cells. Totipotent cells have the potential to develop into any cell type in the body, as well as the extra-embryonic tissues necessary for development. In the early stages of embryonic development, the first few cell divisions yield totipotent cells.
