In the context of cell differentiation, the three types of system cells are typically categorized based on their differentiation potential as follows:
-
Totipotent Stem Cells: These cells have the ability to differentiate into any cell type, including both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues. An example is a fertilized egg (zygote).
-
Pluripotent Stem Cells: These cells can differentiate into almost any cell type, but they cannot form extraembryonic tissues. An example is embryonic stem cells.
-
Multipotent Stem Cells: These cells are more limited in their differentiation potential; they can develop into a specific subset of cell types. An example is hematopoietic stem cells, which can differentiate into various blood cells.
Based on the differentiation capacity, the incorrect order of these cell types from the widest range of differentiation to the least would be:
Multipotent Stem Cells → Pluripotent Stem Cells → Totipotent Stem Cells
However, the correct order should actually be:
Totipotent Stem Cells → Pluripotent Stem Cells → Multipotent Stem Cells
So, the incorrect order you requested is:
Multipotent Stem Cells → Pluripotent Stem Cells → Totipotent Stem Cells.
