The correct response is: No, different sections of the cells' DNA are "tuned on" causing heart cells to have different characteristics from brain cells.

This response accurately reflects how specific genes are expressed in different cell types, leading to distinct functions and characteristics in heart cells and brain cells, despite both originating from the same DNA.
