The cells of our body have the same genes. However, not all of them are expressed, some are silenced and others are active. But this will depend on the stimuli that the cell has. Specifically, a stem cell will specialize in different cell types depending on the genes that are activated, which will cause the production of specific proteins depending on these genes. Therefore, the answer would be option A.
