Although all calls have the DNA only some parts of it are turned on different cells (this is called gene expression). Which genes of the DNA are turned on determine the functions and kinds of cell. Even in the same kinds of cell genes can be differently expessed depending on what the cell needs to do at the time. If you have a drink of alcohol for instance a whole bunch of genes turn on in the liver to detoxify the alcohol. When you have meal hundreds of genes in the stomach, intestine and blood stream kick into action to digest the food and send it away for storage or immediate use. Cells have many things that regulate gene expression some things turn genes off or down others turn them up or on. There are factors turn on whole cascades of genes.

∙ 11y agoCells can have the same DNA because all the cells in our body are formed from a single fertilized egg.
This egg cell divides again and again to form a baby. The end result is we are made up of cells with identical genes.
The cells use the same set of genes for different functions of the body.

Do different types off cells have different DNA?
they are both found in many types of cells
How is DNA different in cells than in individuals?
It's not different. It is the same because individuals are made of cells that have their DNA.
Is DNA code the same in every somatic cells in human body?
Somatic cells are body cells which are important part of the body's multicellularity and function. So they should have same DNA code in order to maintain a balance in the functioning of the body. And except sex cells (gamates) all the cells of human body (i.e. somatic cells) have the same DNA code. Another reason for this is mitosis. As body cells arise from mitosis, the division is conservative and doesn't involve any process of inducing variation in the cells, hence all the cells originating from it have the same DNA code.
What human cells statement is true?
Almost all cells have the same DNA. (e.g. red blood cells don't have DNA, except during early life) They are alive.
Are DNA in muscle and skin the same?
DNA is found in two organelles: the nucleus and the mitochondria. The amount of nuclear DNA is fixed and does not vary from cell to cell, but the number of mitochondria can affect the amount of mitochondrial DNA.
Is the DNA in people's cheek cells as the same as the DNA in other cells?
Yes. Within a single person, all of the somatic cells have the same nuclear genomic DNA; it does not matter if you compare DNA from a cheek cell to a liver cell.
Is your mouth and finger DNA the same?
All cells have DNA in them. If you take cells from your mouth and finger they would have the same genetic code.

It's not different. It is the same because individuals are made of cells that have their DNA.
What is the same between the DNA in your brain cells to the DNA in your heart cells?
The DNA in brain cells and in heart cells are completely identical. Both types of cell come originally form stem cells, and therefore contain the exact same genetic material. The only difference between brain and heart cells is how they use that DNA code.
What if your skin cells have the exact same DNA as your blood cells?
This would be normal. All body cells have the same DNA, including blood cells, at least at some point during their life cycles. Mature red blood cells do not contain DNA because they do not have cell nuclei. But when red blood cells are first formed, they do have a nucleus with DNA identical to the rest of the body cells.
How is dna hereditary material?
DNA are the "instructions" for cells which contain all the genetic material. When a cell divides, the DNA inside its nucleus replicates and forms the same DNA strands in the two new cells. Therefore, when cells divide by meiosis to form sex cells, they contain the same codes of DNA as the cell they divided from, giving them hereditary characteristics.
What do all cells taken from the same organism have?
The same genetic code or DNA.

Are you the same as anyone else?
yes same boby type and same cells diffent DNA
