Muscle cells differ from nerve cells mainly because they
a. Express different genes.
b. Contain different genes.
c. Use different genetic codes.
d. Have unique ribosomes.

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand that all cells in an organism contain the same DNA, which means they have the same set of genes.
Recognize that different cell types, such as muscle cells and nerve cells, perform different functions and therefore need to produce different proteins.
Realize that the difference in function is due to the expression of different genes, not the presence of different genes.
Gene expression involves the process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize a functional gene product, usually a protein.
Conclude that muscle cells and nerve cells differ mainly because they express different genes, allowing them to produce the proteins necessary for their specific functions.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Gene Expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize functional gene products like proteins. This process determines the cell's structure and function, allowing muscle cells and nerve cells to express different sets of genes, leading to their distinct characteristics and roles in the body.

Introduction to Regulation of Gene Expression

Genetic Code

The genetic code is a set of rules used by living cells to translate information encoded within genetic material (DNA or mRNA sequences) into proteins. It is nearly universal across organisms, meaning that muscle and nerve cells use the same genetic code, but they interpret and express it differently based on their specific needs.

Cell Differentiation

Cell differentiation is the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type. This process is crucial for the development of different cell types, such as muscle and nerve cells, which arise from the same genetic material but differentiate through the selective expression of genes, leading to their unique functions.
