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

Question

Responses

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.
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.

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

Answer 1

The correct statement 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 is true because pluripotent cells, such as embryonic stem cells, have the ability to differentiate into almost any cell type in the body, while multipotent cells are more specialized and can typically differentiate into a limited range of cell types relative to their tissue or organ of origin.
