Which is true about pluripotent and multipotent cells?(1 point)
Responses

A multipotent cell can differentiate into any cell type within the body, but a pluripotent cell cannot.
A multipotent cell can differentiate into any cell type within the body, but a pluripotent cell cannot.

Multipotent cells make up most adult somatic cells, but they are not stem cells like pluripotent cells.

Both multipotent and pluripotent cells can differentiate into any cell type within the body, but only pluripotent cells can become extraembryonic.

A multipotent cell can become many different types of specialized cell within a tissue or organ, but it is more limited than a pluripotent cell.

Explanation: Pluripotent cells (e.g., embryonic stem cells) can form nearly any cell type of the body, while multipotent cells (e.g., hematopoietic stem cells) are restricted to a narrower range of related lineages. Pluripotent cells generally cannot form extraembryonic tissues (that requires totipotency).
