B
Nerve cells turn into blood cells
C
Nerve cells & blood cells are the same cells
D
Nerve & blood cells both came from the same first stem cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -We learned in biology class that every cell in the body has the same DNA. Whether a heart cell, skin cell or muscle cell-they all read from the same genetic blueprint.

Detailed explanation-2: -Would a nerve cell and a blood cell from a human contain the same DNA? Explain your answer. Yes–DNA is the same within an organism no matter the type of cell. It is the proteins made from the DNA that makes the cells different.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is because all of the cells in our bodies start from a single fertilized egg. That first cell divided over and over again until a new baby was made. In the end, we all are made up of trillions of cells with nearly identical genes*. Since we start out as one cell, all our cells have the same DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some important similarities between nerve cells and red blood cell are they are both specialized cells. Another important similarity is that their shape helps support their function. They also both have cell membranes, organelles and cytoplasm.
