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

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

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.

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.

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: Multipotent = adult stem cells restricted to a particular lineage (e.g., hematopoietic stem cells → blood cell types). Pluripotent = can give rise to nearly all cell types of the embryo (all three germ layers) but not extraembryonic tissues (that requires totipotency).
