C. No heart cells are stem cells that replicate and create brain cells therefore they are two different types of cells
D. Yes the heart cell and the brain cell have the same function therefore they are identical

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. No, different sections of the cell's DNA are turned on, causing heart cells to have different characteristics from brain cells.

Explanation: Heart cells (cardiomyocytes) and brain cells (neurons) have distinct functions and characteristics, even though they originate from the same genetic material in the DNA. The differentiation of these cells occurs due to the expression of different sets of genes, which leads to the development of specialized functions suitable for either the heart or the brain.
