Which of the following is true of a nerve cell and a muscle cell? a. they both perform the same function. b. they came from one original fertilized cell. c. they both have the same structure. d. they have nothing in common.

B. They came from one original fertilized cell.

Explanation:

Muscle cells contract to produce movement while the nerve cells send those messages of movement from the body to the muscle cells. So they have different function.

However, both of them have the same origin of the membrane voltage.

So the correct answer is:

B. They came from one original fertilized cell.
