How should you respond to her claim? (a) she is somewhat correct. All of the cells in our skin and outer parts of the body are the same, and the cells that make up our organs are different (b) She is correct. All of our cells are the same (c)She is incorrect Our cells differ in order to form different type of tissue for various functions (d) She is somewhat correct.
