Stem Types Cells State Give Examples Occur Animals

The three types of stem cells are totipotent (found in the zygote and early embryo), pluripotent (found in early embryos), and multipotent (found in adult tissues like bone marrow).

The three types of stem cells are totipotent (zygote, early embryo divisions), pluripotent (early embryos), and multipotent (adult stem cells, e.g., bone marrow).

Front State the 3 types of stem cell and give examples of where they occur in animals.
Back Types of stem cell:
  • Totipotent - zygote and the 8/16 cells from its first few mitotic divisions
  • Pluripotent (embryonic stem cells) - early embryos
  • Multipotent (adult stem cells) - bone marrow
