Answer:
The statement that is correct is that all cells have the same genes, but different genes are active in different cells.
Explanation:
Differentiation or specialization is a function that cells possess and is what allows them to have different types of cells and tissues.
Cell differentiation depends on genetic regulation, a mechanism that determines the specific genes that are expressed in a cell or tissue type.
All cells contain the same DNA, which is organized into chromosomes and contain the genes that determine specific characteristics. <u>There is cell differentiation because some genes can be expressed and others are suppressed, all due to genetic regulation</u>.
The other choices are wrong because:
- <em>The eyes look different from the liver, because they have the same genes, but only some are expressed.
</em>
- <em>Differentiated cells and tissues do not lose their genes.
</em>
- <em>All cells have DNA.</em>

The statement which is false about the intergumentary system is option D. "Keratin is the pigment responsible for skin color."
Even though the skin color of human beings is affected y different substances, the pigment melanin is responsible for it. Melanin is produced within the skin in cells known as melanocytes and it determines of the skin color of darker-skinned humans.
For instance, the skin color of those who have light skin is determined primary by the bluish-white connective tissue placed beneath the dermis and by the hemoglobin which circulates in the veins of the dermis.
