Q. Which of the following stem cells can be transformed into all kinds of cells in the human body?
Answer: Totipotent
Notes: Totipotent stem cells are the most versatile and potent type of stem cells. They have the unique ability to differentiate into any cell type in the human body, as well as the placental cells needed to support embryonic development. In other words, totipotent stem cells have the potential to give rise to all the different cell types required to form a complete organism, including the cells of the body and the extraembryonic tissues necessary for early development. These cells are typically found in the very early stages of embryonic development, shortly after fertilization.
