Answer / indraneel
pluripotent refer to a stem cell that has the potential to
differentiate into any of the three germ layers: endoderm
(interior stomach lining, gastrointestinal tract, the
lungs), mesoderm (muscle, bone, blood, urogenital), or
ectoderm (epidermal tissues and nervous system).
Pluripotent stem cells can give rise to any fetal or adult
cell type. However, alone they cannot develop into a fetal
or adult animal because they lack the potential to
contribute to extraembryonic tissue, such as the placenta.
In contrast, many progenitor cells are multipotent, i.e.
they are capable of differentiating into a limited number
of cell fates.
Totipotency is the ability of a single cell to divide and
produce all the differentiated cells in an organism,
including extraembryonic tissues

Answer / chinnu
Totipotency is the ability of a single cell to divide and
produce all the differentiated cells in an organism,
including extraembryonic tissues. Totipotent cells formed
during sexual and asexual reproduction include spores and
zygotes.the definition of pluripotency has come to refer to
a stem cell that has the potential to differentiate into
any of the three germ layers: endoderm (interior stomach
lining, gastrointestinal tract, the lungs), mesoderm
(muscle, bone, blood, urogenital), or ectoderm (epidermal
tissues and nervous system). Pluripotent stem cells can
give rise to any fetal or adult cell type. However, alone
they cannot develop into a fetal or adult animal because
they lack the potential to contribute to extraembryonic
tissue, such as the placenta.

Answer / joey
totiipotency is the ability of a plant cell to give rise to
a complete plant while pluripotency is the ability of an
animal cell to give rise to not a complete organism but
only one specialised tissue. it is this prpoerty of plant
cells which forms the basis for Plant tissue culture .

Answer / santosh kumar patnaik
basically morula stage is there where totipotent cells are
found while blastocyst is the stage where we will find
inner maas cells which have pluripotentency in nature also
called as embryonic stem cells.
and about other aspects ans #number 4and 5 are correct.

Answer / jacob
totipotent stem cellls have the ability to become any cell in the body. pluripotent stem cells are a bit more specialized. this means that pluripotent stm cells cant become all the cells in the body. for instance if a pluripotent cell could know that it is going to be a organ or a tissue.

Answer / ahana kar
The main difference between Totipotient and Pluripotent
stem cells is that totipotency is a characterictic property
of allmost all plant cells in which a single cell have the
ability to divide rapidly and give rise to a differentiated
cells of a plant where as Pluripotency is characterised in
aninal or human cells, and not in plant cells

Answer / nishant
Differences are very few between totipotent and pluripotent
stem cells.The genetic code remains the same.
The potency for making all bodily tissues remains the same.
When using the blastocyst as source, the trophechtoderm is
removed and this denies to the internal hES cells access to
what is necessary for implantation.
Difference in the the pluripotent stem cells is their loss
of the blastocyst environment and the potential for sharing
in the benefits of implantation.
Totally, it is not nature but rather the laboratory
procedure that drives cells from totipotency to pluripotency
