Red blood cells and muscle cells look very different and have different functions. Using the information in the diagram about the different genes explain why red blood blood cells and muscles cells could be so different even though they have identical chromosomes.

Question
![The rectangles under each cell type shows 4 different genes. If the gene is expressed (used) in that type of cell
the box is blue. If that gene is not expressed (used) in that type of cell the box is unfilled.
Cogethe M o e ware ducton or y
Cell type
Red blood
Muscle
Pancreatic
Gene type
Housekeeping
Hemoglobin.
Insulin
Myosin
You don't really need to know what the different genes do but here is that info anyway:
Housekeeping genes- genes that allow the cell to do basic functions like cellular respiration.
Hemoglobin- A protein that carries oxygen molecules
Insulin- A protein that tells cells to absorb glucose from the blood
Myosin- A protein that forms muscle fibers.
Using this information answer both parts"
