Question 12 • WV-Biology

Which type of cells are the least limited in differentiation?

Answer
A
adult stem cells
B
embryonic stem cells
C
amniotic fluid stem cells
D
somatic stem cells

Explanation

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they can develop into nearly any type of cell in the body. Adult stem cells and somatic stem cells are generally limited to a narrower range of cell types, while amniotic fluid stem cells have more limited potential than embryonic stem cells. Therefore, embryonic stem cells are the least limited in differentiation.
