Answer:

Totipotency is the term coined by Gottlieb Haberlandt in 1902. He was an Austrian botanist; he was also known as the father of plant tissue culture.

Explanation:

Totipotency is the ability of a single cell to divide and produce a whole new organism consisting of all differentiated cells including the extraembryonic tissue. In some organisms, cells can dedifferentiate and totipotency can be regained.

  • E.g., callus or a plant cutting can be used to grow an entire plant. Totipotent cells formed during asexual and sexual reproduction include spores and zygotes. Mammalian development initiates when an oocyte is fertilized by a sperm forming a single-celled embryo, the zygote.
  • The zygote is also totipotent, meaning that this single cell has the potential to develop into an embryo with all the specialized cells that make up a living organism.
