A
a mutation occurs during the development of muscle cells but not in blood cells
B
different genes are activated in muscle cells than in blood cells
C
muscle cells experience different environmental influences than blood cells
D
muscle cells are produced by the brain, but blood cells are produced by the heart
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which best explains why muscle cells are different from blood cells? A mutation occurs during the development of muscle cells but not in blood cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Although all cells contain the same DNA sequence, muscle cells are different from nerve cells and other types of cells because of the different genes that are turned on in these cells and the different RNAs and proteins produced.

Detailed explanation-3: -The zygote undergoes a process known as mitosis, in which it replicates its chromosomes (which carry each parent’s DNA) and then divides, resulting in two identical cells. These cells are called totipotent and have the ability to develop into a new organism.
