Answer:

different proteins

Explanation:

All the cells of the body are derived from same cell still different cells have different characteristics or phenotypes. For example, the hemoglobin is present in RBCs only not in any other cell. This is because of a process called gene expression.

This process regulates expression or repression of different set of genes. This makes embryonic cells to become specialized cells that is to perform a specific function. The gene contains DNA which gets transcribed to RNA and then to proteins. The different proteins provides different specificity to cell.

vodomira [7]

Answer: Phenotype

Explanation:

The phenotype is the set of physical characteristics of an individual, that make it different from other individuals and are evident to the eye.

While the genes inherited from the parents determine the genotype of the individual, that's not enough to fully determine how it will look when it develops, as the ambient where it will grow takes a great part of it. Those factors are called epigenetics.

How an individual will look, its phenotype, is a result of its genes and the epigenetic factors.

in summer, what happens to the hurricane’s temperature, category, and speed as it travels across a body of water and then land?
IRISSAK [1]

I think it starts to get slower as soon as it starts traveling because then hurricanes wouldnt be as bad and would be long, and it could possible get worse as it travels across the water because it could be sucking up water so then it would get bigger and worse. The tempertaure will get colder because it will then start to pour and cause destruction and make it windy and very chilly.
