Not all the 'instructions' refer to every cell. Some instructions are cell specific.

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.
Does the human heart and lungs contain cells that have the same genetic information but perform different functions?
Yes. Every cell in your body contains the exact same genetic information, regardless of where that cell is found.
Do any two cells of the human body contain exactly the same genetic instructions?
Yes, if they are the result of sexual reproduction and are not identical twins.
What are the functions of DNA?
DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acidit contains information to make proteins which do all the functions for a living organismt also contains all our genetic coding which makes sure all our daughter cells inherit the same characteristics as their parent cells
Contrast blood cells and nerve cells?
same genetic information
Do mitosis and meiosis produce cells with the same amount of genetic information?
Meiosis cells have half the amount of genetic info as cells of mitosis.
How is the genetic material in two daughter cells similar to the genetic material in the parent cell?
It depends if the daughter cells were produced as a result of fertilization or cloned. If fertilized the genetic material isn't same but if cloned the genetic material is 100% same.
What do all cells taken from the same organism have?
The same genetic code or DNA.
Do neurons hold the same genetic information as somatic cells?
No, there is not any information that neurons hold the same genetic information as somatic cells. Somatic cells are the biological form of an animal, neurons are the forms of elements not organisms.
A tissue is composed of a group?
Of similar cells with the same functions
How is dna hereditary material?
DNA are the "instructions" for cells which contain all the genetic material. When a cell divides, the DNA inside its nucleus replicates and forms the same DNA strands in the two new cells. Therefore, when cells divide by meiosis to form sex cells, they contain the same codes of DNA as the cell they divided from, giving them hereditary characteristics.
Is protein and DNA the same?
No. DNA is genetic material that carries the instructions for making proteins.
