Answer:

all of the cells in our bodies are formed from a single fertilized egg

Step-by-step explanation:

Also all cells of the body have the same DNA but different functions. Why? This is because all of the cells in our bodies are formed from a single fertilized egg that forms the diploid zygote (2n) after the fusion of one haploid sperm cell (n) with one haploid egg cell (n).
