Question

multicellular organisms can consist of hundreds or even trillions of cells. which of the following is the same for nearly every cell that makes up a particular multicellular organism?
a. cellular size
b. specialized function
c. cell type
d. dna sequence

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In multicellular organisms, while cells can vary in size (A), type (C), and specialized function (B), nearly every cell (with some exceptions like mature red blood cells in humans) contains the same DNA sequence (D). This is because all cells in an organism (except for gametes in sexual reproduction and some cells that lose DNA during development like certain immune cells in a limited way) are derived from a single fertilized egg (zygote) through mitosis. Mitosis ensures that the genetic material (DNA) is replicated and distributed equally to daughter cells.

Answer:

D. DNA sequence
