Answer:
2
Explanation:
The genetic material (DNA) in organisms contains portions that hold the information needed for a cell's functioning. i.e. it directs all the living processes e.g reproduction, movement, excretion etc.
A cell carries all the DNA coding for the proteins needed by it. However, all these genes will not be expressed at once, some genes are turned on in some cells and off in others, instead cells continually divide and differentiate in the process. Cell differentiation is the act by which cells change their function or phenotypical type. This process occurs as a result of change in gene expression. For example, a developing embryo will produce various organs and tissues based on the differentiation of cells directed by the expression of certain information encoded by the genes on the genetic material (DNA).
Note that, all cells contain the same DNA but the expression of certain genes on it determines the types of cell that will be made.
