The Specificity of Cell Signaling and Coordination of the Response
The explanation for the specificity exhibited in cellular responses to signals: different kinds of cells have different collections of proteins. (This is because different kinds of cells turn on different sets of genes). The response of a particular cell depends on its particular collection of signal receptor proteins, relay proteins, and proteins needed to carry out the response. Two cells that respond differently to the same signal differ in one or more of the proteins that handle and respond to the signal. Although cells A, B and C all have the same receptor protein, differences in other proteins account for their differences in responses.

Do different types off cells have different DNA?
they are both found in many types of cells
How is DNA different in cells than in individuals?
It's not different. It is the same because individuals are made of cells that have their DNA.
Why are some cells brain cells and others skin cells when the DNA is the same?
All body cells have the same DNA. They all play different roles because the brain sends them signals to do so. You can't have them all doing the same thing. Ex: If you only have skin cells, then what cells will make up your heart or liver or bones?
Do cells in your body all have the same structure and different functions?
no
Do different cells have different genes?
If the cells are from one individual, all will have the same genes except their sex cells which have 1/2 the number. A dog will have different genes from a cat. The genes make the cat different from the dog and human.
Do cells have the same?
No, all cells have different shapes. The blood cells and skin cells are definitely different! Also, plant and animal cells are different: plant cells are box-like shaped.
Are all cell the same if not what ways are they different?
All the cells are same in that they have the same genetic material in them. All the cells are different in that they perform the different functions as per allotted by genetic material.
Do cells have the same shape?
No, all cells have different shapes. The blood cells and skin cells are definitely different! Also, plant and animal cells are different: plant cells are box-like shaped.
Are animals cells the same as human cells?
Yes. We have different types of cells, such as blood, skin, muscle cells, etc. But we all have the same organelles in our cells
Are the cells the same?
Cells can be the same, but there are many, many different types of cells. These will be different depending on their function and location. For example, a cell found in cardiac tissue will be different to one found in liver tissue.
Do different types off cells have different DNA?
they are both found in many types of cells
Which group of messengers exert their effects on cells within the same tissue but not necessarily the cells that secreted the mesenger though?
Paracrines
Are the genes in daughter cells produced by mitoses the same as or different from the genes in the original cell?
No. Because each daughter cells gets a different pair of chromosomes.
How is DNA different in cells than in individuals?
It's not different. It is the same because individuals are made of cells that have their DNA.
Do all cells have the same struction and function?
no because they are placed in different spots inside of your body, and if all of your cells did the same thing,your body would only have one function.
Are all the cells in the body the same?
no, not all the cells in the body are the same, they are all very different as they have different functions. A nervecell looks way different than a muscle cell and so on.
Why should cells in different shape and sizes?
All cells ARE NOT the same shape. Cells can be of diverse structures.
