**Understanding Cell Differentiation in the Human Body****Question:**Which of the following best describes how different cell types in the human body can have such vastly different appearances and functions?1. Different cell types inherit different DNA sequences.2. All cell types inherit the same DNA sequences but some of the DNA is destroyed over time.3. All cell types contain the same DNA sequences but each cell makes different proteins.**Answer:**- **(Selected)** Different cell types inherit different DNA sequences. - All cell types inherit the same DNA sequences but some of the DNA is destroyed over time.- All cell types contain the same DNA sequences but each cell makes different proteins.**Explanation:**The accurate answer, which can be inferred from the given options, deals with how cells in the human body utilize their DNA. While the first option is selected (Different cell types inherit different DNA sequences), the most scientifically accurate answer actually should be:- **All cell types contain the same DNA sequences but each cell makes different proteins.**This is because, in reality, all the cells in the human body contain the same DNA. However, the vast differences in cell function and appearance arise because of how the cells interpret and express their DNA. Each cell type activates different genes and produces a unique set of proteins, leading to the specialization observed in diverse cell types.

1. As a science student, you're working in the lab using your compound microscope. The room is quite dim-lighted with only fluorescent lamp on. You're examining a plant cell with a light green color and it seems that it's hard for you to get a clearer view of its nucleus. What must be done to make your study successful? 2. Donating a pint of blood reduces blood volume, which results in a decrease in blood pressure (just as air pressure in tire decreases as is let out of the tire). What effect does donating blood have on heart rate? What would happen if a negative feedback mechanism did not return the value of some parameter such as blood pressure to its normal range?
