Are your heart cells the same as your brain cells? Why or why not?(1 point) Responses Yes, during mitosis, the resulting daughter cells are identical which means that all cells in the body are the same. Yes, during mitosis, the resulting daughter cells are identical which means that all cells in the body are the same. No, heart cells are stem cells that replicate and create brain cells, therefore they are two different types of cells. No, heart cells are stem cells that replicate and create brain cells, therefore they are two different types of cells. Yes, the heart cell and the brain cell have the same function, therefore they are identical. Yes, the heart cell and the brain cell have the same function, therefore they are identical. No, different sections of the cells' DNA are "tuned on" causing heart cells to have different characteristics from brain cells.

No, different sections of the cells' DNA are "tuned on" causing heart cells to have different characteristics from brain cells.
Heart cells (cardiomyocytes) and brain cells (neurons and glial cells) are distinct types of cells with different functions, structures, and roles in the body. While they originate from the same fertilized egg and have the same DNA, the differentiation process leads to the activation of different genes, resulting in diverse characteristics and functions.
