Question

Responses

The cells mutate during transcription.
The cells mutate during transcription.

The proteins are expressed differently in each cell.
The proteins are expressed differently in each cell.

The cells discard the DNA that is not in use.
The cells discard the DNA that is not in use.

The tRNA uses a different sequence in each cell during transcription.

Answer 1

The best description of how a liver cell and skin cell can have the same DNA sequence and yet look different and perform different functions is:

The proteins are expressed differently in each cell.

This means that even though both cells contain the same DNA, they express different genes, leading to the production of different proteins, which ultimately results in their different appearances and functions.
