Answer:

Different genes are expressed in different cells

Explanation:

The instruction is provided to the cell by the genetic material in the form of genes. Genes are the physical segment present on the DNA which can code for a specific protein.

The genes are present in the cells in the condensed form called chromosome which is present in all the cells of the body.
