B.

All of the cells in an organism have the same genetic information

Santos Moody · Answer 2

B

Explanation:

In an organism, all of the cell in his body contain same number of chromosome and same genetic material. The different morphology or different functioning depends on differential gene expression. All of the cells in an organism have the same genetic information, their expression changes according to the need, time and position. For example; brain cell express different genes while pancreatic cell express different genes, both show different morphology and function beside they contain same genetic material, this is all due to differential gene expression.
