None of the above options correctly explain why heart cells have different characteristics than skin cells. The reason is that different cells in the body undergo a process called cell differentiation, where they acquire specific characteristics and functions. This process is controlled by the expression of specific genes in each cell type, leading to the development of distinct cell types such as heart cells and skin cells. Different cells express different sets of genes, leading to the characteristic differences between cell types.
