Which of the following best describes how a liver cell and skin cell have the exact same DNA sequence and yet look different and perform different functions?(1 point)

Question

Responses

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

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

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

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

Answer 1

The correct response is:

The proteins are expressed differently in each cell.

This is because although liver cells and skin cells have the same DNA, the genes that are expressed (turned on) and the proteins that are produced can vary significantly between different cell types, leading to their distinct appearances and functions.
