If all cells in multicellular organisms have the same set of DNA, what accounts for the different types of cells in a multicellular organism?
A short answer is that by collaboration and by division of labor it becomes possible to exploit resources that no single cell could utilize so well. This principle, applying at first to simple associations of cells, has been taken to an extreme in the multicellular organisms we see today. Hope that helps. ChaCha on!
