b) Hemoglobin production is controlled by different genes during embryonic development compared to later stages of life.
c) Embryonic stem cells have unique properties that enable them to synthesize a distinct form of hemoglobin.
d) Hemoglobin undergoes structural modifications as the embryo matures, resulting in a different molecular composition.
