    Answer Explanation

    A totipotent cell is a type of stem cell that has the ability to develop into any kind of cell in the body, including the cells that make up the placenta and the umbilical cord. This means that a totipotent cell can generate a complete organism from a single cell. The only natural example of totipotent cells are the fertilized egg and the cells produced by the first few divisions of the egg. Totipotent cells are different from other types of stem cells, such as pluripotent cells, which can develop into any cell type except for the placenta and the umbilical cord, and multipotent cells, which can only develop into a limited range of cell types.
