Item RH013002: The sequence of subunits in the DNA of a stomach cell in a mouse is the same as the sequence of subunits in the DNA of other cells in the mouse’s body.
A scientist collects a single stomach cell from a mouse. She determines the sequence of subunits in the DNA molecules from that cell. In what other cells in the mouse will the same sequence of subunits be found?
- In that one cell that was collected from the mouse's stomach, but not in any other cells
- In all of the other stomach cells, but not in any other types of cells
- In stomach cells and other cells in the digestive tract, but not in any other types of cells
- In stomach cells, in other cells in the digestive tract, and in cells elsewhere in the body
