If all cells contain the same DNA, how does the function and appearance of cells differ?

These cells are different because they use the same set of genes differently. So even though each of our cells has the same 20,000 or so genes, each cell can select which ones it wants to “turn on” and which ones it wants to keep “turned off”
I hope this helps :))
