    False

    Explanation:

    All the cells of a multicellular organism such as humans are derived from the zygote. Therefore, all the cells share identical DNA sequences irrespective of the tissues or the organs in which they are present. Muscle cells and nerve cells have identical DNA sequences but make different types of proteins due to tissues or organ-specific expression of some genes.

    Muscle cells express specific genes and do not express the other genes which are otherwise expressed in the neuron cells. This spatial and tissue-specific expression of specific sets of genes allows the expression of different proteins in the different types of the cells of an organism despite the presence of identical DNA sequences in them.
