Which stem cells have the ability to differentiate into all types of human tissues?

Pluripotent
Multipotent
Totipotent
Unipotent

The correct answer is: Totipotent

Totipotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into all types of human tissues. This is because totipotent stem cells have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the human body, including both embryonic and extraembryonic cell types. Pluripotent stem cells are able to differentiate into many types of cells but not all, multipotent stem cells can differentiate into a limited range of cell types, and unipotent stem cells can only differentiate into one specific type of cell.
