After cell specialization

Answer 1

A cell will have a high degree of potency A) Prior to cell specialization.

This is because before a cell differentiates into a specific type, it is often a pluripotent or totipotent stem cell, which means it has the ability to develop into many different types of cells. As it specializes, its potency typically decreases.
