Question

Responses

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.
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.
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.
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.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

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.

This statement accurately describes the differences between pluripotent and multipotent cells. Pluripotent cells can differentiate into almost any cell type in the body (including types from all three germ layers), while multipotent cells are more limited and can only differentiate into a restricted range of cell types typically related to a specific tissue or organ.
