DNA provides many potential computing advantages compared to silicon. First, silicon is a limited resource, whereas DNA will be in constant supply as long as cellular organisms exist. Because DNA is readily available, it's cheap compared to silicon. Next, "biochips" made of DNA are eco-friendly, compared to the toxic materials required to manufacture silicon microprocessors. Finally, DNA computers would be much smaller than current computers.

Are there any difference appearance between DNA from different cell?

No, there is no difference in appearance between DNA from different cells. DNA is a molecule that has a uniform structure regardless of the cell type it is found in. The only differences in DNA between cells come from variations in the sequence of nucleotides that make up the DNA.
