The reason muscle cells and skin cells look and behave differently is that **their genes are being expressed differently**. Despite having the same DNA and the same set of genes, different types of cells activate different genes based on their specific functions and the requirements of the tissue they belong to. This process of gene expression regulation leads to the development of distinct cell types with unique structures and functions.
