Multiple Choice

Do all cells within a single organism have the same DNA?

• no, each cell has different DNA because it has differing jobs from other cells

• no, only certain types of cells contain the DNA, which is the blueprint or genetic code for the organism

• yes, differing cells just read different instructions from the DNA, turning genes on and off

• yes, because all cells among any particular species all have the exact same DNA.
