Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The genetic information in almost all of your body cells is identical. Each cell (with the exception of gametes and some cases of mutation) contains the same DNA, which includes the entire set of genetic information. The differences in cell types and functions are due to differential gene expression rather than differences in the genetic information itself.
