Question
beta cells in the pancreas contain the same chromosomes as skeletal muscle cells, but they do not normally make myoglobin. however, they are the only cells in the body that make the protein insulin, a hormone that controls glucose levels in the blood. the production of insulin is controlled by a single gene located on chromosome 11. pancreatic tissue under a microscope. complete the paragraph. in humans, skeletal muscle cells and pancreatic beta cells contain the same dna. the gene for myoglobin production is active in skeletal muscle cells and inactive in pancreatic beta cells. dna contains the instructions for making myoglobin. dna does not hold instructions to make proteins, but it does he non - coding protein - coding the myoglobin gene is activated or inactivated in each type
All somatic cells in the human body have the same DNA. Different cell - types express different genes. Myoglobin is produced in skeletal muscle cells, so the myoglobin - producing gene is active there and inactive in pancreatic beta cells which are specialized for insulin production. Protein - coding DNA contains instructions for making proteins.
