Bone cells and muscle cells differ in structure and function because
A)each expresses a different subset of genes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bone cells and muscle cells both have different functions and therefore express different subsets of genes that are specific to their respective functions. While they may have some shared genes, the majority of their gene expression will be unique to their cell type. Differences in gene expression lead to differences in cellular structure and function.
