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?


Is there DNA in Human Urine?

Yes, human urine does contain DNA. The DNA in urine can come from sloughed-off cells from the urinary tract and other parts of the body that are excreted in the urine. This can be used in certain types of genetic testing.


When extracting DNA from human cells would the DNA be the same in any cell?

Who cares science sucks!! This would depend on the same person each DNA strand is dedicated to something different such as hair or eye color yet I do not have much experience on the subject and that is just my basic understanding.


If every somatic body cell in your body has the same DNA then why doesn't every cell do the exact same job?

The reason every cell does different things despite having the exact same DNA is that the DNA isn't responsible for deciding what happens, only translating what occurs. Messenger RNA gets the code from the DNA, and that's what determines what proteins get produced in each cell.


Can you get DNA from a stool sample?

Yes, DNA can be extracted from a stool sample. The DNA found in stool samples primarily comes from shedded intestinal cells and gut microorganisms. This DNA can be used for various diagnostic and research purposes.

Why liver and skull cell are different but have same DNA?

The DNA in every cell contains a complete copy of the data needed to build a human body, however, in differentiated cells (everything but stem cells), not all of it is active. Some of it is turned on and some of it is turned off. So in a bone cell, the parts relating to bone formation are on, while a cell from a liver would have other parts on. Incidentally, there's no such thing as a "liver cell". Livers are made of different types of cells, the main type being parenchymal cells.

What do all Muscle cells do?

Muscle cells have several different features that they all share. First off, they all have DNA. Secondly, they are all myofilaments.

Are the cell identical same DNA?

No, although cells within the same individual generally have the same DNA, variations can occur due to mutations or genetic recombination. Additionally, different types of cells (e.g., skin cells, nerve cells) have specific genes that are switched on or off, resulting in variations in gene expression and cellular function.

Could DNA come off with soap and water?

There is DNA in most cells in your body, so you could leave some DNA behind after washing.
