The best explanation for why muscle cells are different from liver cells is:
**Different genes are expressed in muscle cells that create proteins that allow for muscle contraction.**
This statement highlights the concept of gene expression, where different types of cells express specific sets of genes that determine their functions and characteristics. Muscle cells express genes that facilitate muscle contraction, while liver cells express genes relevant to their functions, such as metabolism and detoxification. The other statements do not accurately capture the fundamental reason for the differences between these cell types.
