Question

Responses

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

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

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

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

Answer 1

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

The proteins are expressed differently in each cell.

This means that even though the DNA is identical, different sets of genes are turned on or off in each type of cell, leading to the production of different proteins that result in their unique structures and functions.
