DIFFERENTIATED CELL

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bone cells are different than brain cells because bone cells-
A
do not undergo cell division
B
cannot maintain homeostasis
C
contain charged ions
D
express different genes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Under a microscope, bone cells look very different from muscle cells. Bone cells are star-shaped and contain a nucleus and a thin ring of cytoplasm. Bone tissue is made up of layers of bone cells surrounded by calcium and other minerals. These minerals are what make our bones hard.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gene regulation makes cells different These different patterns of gene expression cause your various cell types to have different sets of proteins, making each cell type uniquely specialized to do its job.

Detailed explanation-3: -Different genetic codes will code for different amino acids. The genetic codes determine the variation in the amino acid sequences. The difference between the muscle and nerve cells is due to the difference in gene expression and not differences in genetic codes.
