Answer

-Totipotent are found in the early embryo and have the potential to differentiate into any cell type. They can also form new embryonic cells. -Pluripotent cells are found in later embryos and have the potential to develop into most other cell types, but they cannot form new embryos. - Multipotent cells describe mature stem cells that can differentiate into several different, but related cell types.
