Vedclass · Answer

(A) $Totipotency$ is the genetic potential of a plant or animal cell to produce an entire organism. In plants, this is a common phenomenon where a single somatic cell can differentiate into all types of cells and eventually form a complete plant. In animals, true $Totipotency$ is generally restricted to the $Zygote$ (the fertilized egg) and early embryonic cells. Therefore, the most accurate definition in a biological context refers to the capacity of a cell, specifically the $Zygote$, to develop into a complete organism.
