||
D) Totipotent cells can develop into any kind of tissue. |
||
E) Totipotent, unipotent, multipotent, and pluripotent are all types of stem cells. |
Answer - B) Pluripotent cells can develop into a complete organism.
Explanation -
A) Unipotent cells can develop into only one type of cell or tissue. - Correct - Unipotent stem cells are those type of stem cells which can differentiate into a particular type of cell or tissue as the name suggest uni means one.
B) Pluripotent cells can develop into a complete organism. - Incorrect - Pluripotent stem cells are those stem cells which can divide and differentiate to generate all the three primary germ layer cells which in turn can differentiate into most or almost all of the different cell types and tissues of the organism but pluripotent stem cells can not develop into a complete organism as they cannot develop extaembryonic tissues like placenta. Only totipotent stem cells can develop a complete organism.
C) Multipotent bone marrow cells can develop into different types of blood cells. - correct - Multipotent stem cells are those stem cell which can divide and dfferentiate into cells which rae relatively similar. For example, bone marrow multipotent stem cell divide and differentiate into a range of different blood cells such as agranulocytes, granulocytes, red blood cells and other bllod cells only.
D) Totipotent cells can develop into any kind of tissue. - Correct - Totipotent stem cells are those stem cells which can divide and differentiate into any type of tissue cells ranging from all three germ cells to extraembryonic tissues. Thus, totipotent cells have the ability to develop a complete organism.
E) Totipotent, unipotent, multipotent, and pluripotent are all types of stem cells. - correct - all tehse are different types of stem cells depending upon the potentiality to divide and differentiate to range of tissues.
Therefore, the false statme is B) Pluripotent cells can develop into a complete organism.
Hence, the correct is B) Pluripotent cells can develop into a complete organism.
