Vedclass · Answer

(B) All somatic cells in a multicellular organism contain the same set of genetic information $(DNA)$. The differentiation of cells into specialized types,such as gland cells or epithelial cells,occurs due to differential gene expression. This means that in different cell types,specific sets of genes are turned 'on' (active) while others are turned 'off' (inactive),allowing cells to perform distinct physiological functions despite having identical genomes.
