Are your heart cells the same as your brain cells? Why or why not?(1 point)
Responses

No, heart cells are stem cells that replicate and create brain cells, therefore they are two different types of cells.

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

Yes, during mitosis, the resulting daughter cells are identical which means that all cells in the body are the same.
