Solution

The correct option is A

DNA sequences


The DNA sequence in all the cells in the body of the organism is identical. The genes for all the proteins is present in each of the somatic cell. The expression of the genes in the DNA depends on the type of cells. So, the mRNA and protein sequences changes according to the cell type. Like for example, the pancreatic cells produce insulin but the other cells of the body do not produce insulin.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'DNA sequences'.
