unipotent
Unipotent stem cells can only differentiate into one type of cell (but have self-renewal which distinguishes them from non-stem cells).
. Which of the following stem cells can differentiate into the largest number of different cell types?
Generally called a Stem Cell.
Prokaryrotic
collenchyma
Unipotent
unipotent
Pluripotent - adjective - Term which describes the ability of a progenitor cell to differentiate into a finite number of other cell types. For example, hematopoietic stem cells can differentiate into any of the red or white blood cell types, but can also differentiate into other types of connective tissue cells, such as osteoclasts. Pluripotency - noun Pluripotential - noun
Totipotent cells can differentiate into more types of cells.
The bone marrow contains 3 types of multipotent stem cells (i.e. cells which can differentiate into several other types of cells) in the stroma. However, other cells are fully differentiated.

Pluripotent cell can differentiate into almost any type of cell.
To understand potency we jave to know that the Potency of a stem cell relates to its ability to differentiate. Currently the most potent cell lines are: • Totipotent stem cells that can differentiate into embryonic and extraembryonic cell types. • Pluripotent cells can differentiate into nearly all cells. • Multipotent cells can differentiate into a number of cells, but only those of a closely related family of cells • Oligopotent cells can differentiate into a few cell types like myeloid stem cells • Unipotent cells can only produce one cell type, themselves. source:http://stemcellthailand.org/differentiation/

Sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes that body cells contain.
Pluripotent cells can differentiate into more types of cells.
Totipotent cells can differentiate into more types of cells.
