Which of the following is true about cell differentiation?

• Different cells contain different DNA, which leads to specialization

• All cells eventually reach G0 and stop dividing

• Different cells have the same DNA, but express different genes--leading to specialization

• Even though a cell is differentiated, it can always turn into another cell type
