The principle of genomic equivalence states that all cells in an organism contain the same genetic information. This means that the nuclei of cells do not lose any genetic information during the early stages of development as they differentiate into different cell types. Instead, different cell types express different subsets of genes, leading to the diversity of cell types in the organism. Options B, C, D, and E are not related to this principle specifically.
