Immediately after an embryo forms, it is at the blastocyst stage and begins to divide. The cells that are formed during the very first round of division are totipotent cells. Totipotent cells have the ability to develop into any cell type in the body, including both the embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues. Therefore, the correct response is:

totipotent cells
