Why are there different types of cells? (1 point)
• Different types of cells have different chromosomes in them.
• Gene expression is different between different specialized cells
• During mitosis, cells become specialized.
• There are not different types of cells.
The correct answer is:
• Gene expression is different between different specialized cells.
Different types of cells have different functions, and these functions are determined by the specific genes that are active or "expressed" in each cell. This gene expression is what leads to the development of specialized cells with unique structures and functions, allowing them to perform specific tasks within the organism.
