The DNA in brain cells and in heart cells are completely identical. Both types of cell come originally form stem cells, and therefore contain the exact same genetic material. The only difference between brain and heart cells is how they use that DNA code.

Does the DNA in the skin cell have the same sequence of bases as the DNA in the brain cell of the same organism?
It is true thatÊthe DNA in the skin cell have the same sequence of bases as the DNA in the brain cell of the same organism. The sequence of the bases should be the same in all cells of an organism.
Is the heart a tissue or an organ?

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?

How many cells do fungus have?
A single cell fungus has about the same number of cells as you have in your brain!
How is the DNA of your brain cells the same as the DNA of your heart cell?
DNA is found in a heart cell and brain cell and they both do a job in each cell.

DNA
Why can't you find brain cells in your stomach and stomach cells in your brain?
Brain cells remain in the brain. They are the building blocks of the brain. If the brain cells were in the stomach, you'd have a brain in your stomach! Same goes for the stomach and all parts of the body. In my yoga class my instructor mentioned that there are more brain cells in the stomach than in the brain, I wanted to find out if it was true and I came across this article. So maybe you can have cells "in the wrong places"...... (look below under related links)
