Question 4

A team of developmental biologists is characterizing three distinct populations of mammalian stem cells for use in regenerative medicine:

  • Population 1: Blastomeres isolated from a 2-cell stage embryo.
  • Population 2: Cells extracted from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst.
  • Population 3: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) isolated from adult bone marrow.

Which of the following options correctly identifies the potency of each stem cell population?

A
  • Population 1: Pluripotent
  • Population 2: Totipotent
  • Population 3: Multipotent
B
  • Population 1: Totipotent
  • Population 2: Pluripotent
  • Population 3: Multipotent
C
  • Population 1: Totipotent
  • Population 2: Multipotent
  • Population 3: Unipotent
D
  • Population 1: Pluripotent
  • Population 2: Multipotent
  • Population 3: Multipotent
