totipotent stem cells → pluripotent stem cells → multipotent stem cells → neuron

neuron → multipotent stem cells → pluripotent stem cells → totipotent stem cells
neuron → multipotent stem cells → pluripotent stem cells → totipotent stem cells

pluripotent stem cells → multipotent stem cells → totipotent stem cells → neuron
pluripotent stem cells → multipotent stem cells → totipotent stem cells → neuron

multipotent stem cells → totipotent stem cells → pluripotent stem cells → neuron

Answer 1

The correct order of cell types from least differentiated to most differentiated is:

totipotent stem cells → pluripotent stem cells → multipotent stem cells → neuron

So the correct response is: totipotent stem cells → pluripotent stem cells → multipotent stem cells → neuron.

Totipotent stem cells can differentiate into any cell type, including placental cells. Pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into nearly all cell types but not into extra-embryonic tissues. Multipotent stem cells can differentiate into a limited range of cell types, and neurons are fully differentiated cells.
