Question

How are pluripotent and multipotent cells different? (1 point)

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

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

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

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