The primary germ layers developed from stem cells are referred to as:
A) omnipotent.
B) pluripotent.
C) totipotent.
D) multipotent.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary germ layers developed from stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they have the ability to differentiate into a limited range of cell types. Omnipotent cells are hypothetical cells that have the ability to differentiate into all cell types, totipotent cells can differentiate into all cell types including placental cells, and multipotent cells can differentiate into multiple, but not all, cell types within a particular lineage. The question specifically mentions primary germ layers, so pluripotent is the most accurate choice.
