The correct statement that explains the differences is:
**Genes are expressed differently in liver cells and hair follicles.**
This statement accurately reflects that while both cell types contain the same DNA (the same genes), they express different sets of genes. Hair follicle cells express the genes related to keratin production, while liver cells express genes related to liver functions, but not those related to keratin.
