Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent because they can differentiate into almost all cell types but not all, unlike totipotent stem cells. They can form cell types from all three germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm). Multipotent stem cells can differentiate into a limited number of cell types, and omnipotent stem cells are not a recognized category of stem cells.
