The zygote is said to be Choose... , because it is able to develop into any kind of cell in the body. Adult stem cells are refer
red to as Choose... , because they can differentiate usually only into the cells of the tissues where they are found, whereas embryonic stem cells are Choose... because they can develop into any of the body’s cell types, although they cannot form the tissues surrounding the embryo.
The cells that are able to develop or differentiate a different kind of cells in the body of the individual are known as totipotent cells and this ability is known as totipotency. An example of such cells is found in the zygote.
Multipotent on the other hand are the cells that are able to develop into a specific kind of cell of tissues these cells are present and the example of this type of cell is adult stem cells. Whereas Embryonic stem cells are Pluripotent cells that are characterized as the cells that develop into any type of cell of the body of an organism.
