If all cells in an organism contain the same copy of DNA, why are there so many different types of cells in an organism?

• cell differentiation is determined by the expression of only specific genes

• there is a different set of DNA in each of the different cell types

• ribonucleic acid creates a different complementary strand depending on the cell type

• cell differentiation is determined by the nucleolus.
