Your body was made.when one tiny cell fromyour father joined another tiny cell from your mother.These two cells became one very special cell, and thatvery special cell became you! That very special cellhad all the information and “secret codes" to make youthe way you are. Those “secret...
A typical human body cell contains how many sex chromosomes? What chromosome is microphthalmia on? What types of cells have chromosomes? What do the X and Y chromosomes stand for? What is a homologous chromosome pair? What do chromosomes do only once in mitosis and meiosis? In humans, what...
Meiosis exclusively occurs in the human body when producing mature sexual reproductive cells (all other cell production occurs via mitosis). One parent cell produces four diploid cells after the phases of meiosis that can be fused together with an opposite-sexed reproductive cell at fertilization. Th...
Don’t worry—that’s normal. Your cells need to make copies of themselves so that they can replace old, dead cells. It’s the circle of life, Simba. Somatic cells—that is, the cells in your body that aren’t sex cells—do this via a process called mitosis. New sex cells, or ga...
I think I understand mitosis pretty well, but meiosis seems a lot more complicated. The article says a cell creates four haploid daughter cells in meiosis. What does haploid mean? Plus, it talks about gametes creating an embryo. Are gametes like sperm and eggs? Isn't that what forms an ...
and the cell that’s being divided is always called the “parent cell.” When the process of dividing the parent cell is complete, the result is two “daughter cells.” These cells are called daughter cells because, during mitosis, the genetic material of the parent cell is passed on to ...
Plasmodesmata are small channels that connect plant cells. They facilitate interactions between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells through the the transfer of small and large molecules. They are an important route for cell-cell communication. Plants are multicellular organisms; they are made of hundreds ...
Cells are the smallest living units of living systems. They can respire, respond, and reproduce. A single human cell, however, or even a conglomerate of human cells, does not a human being make. In fact, the human body is made up of trillions of cells that are organized into specialized...
A somatic cell: a. is a general body cell containing 46 chromosomes b. is a sex cell with 23 chromosomes c. both d. neither How many chromosomes are in a human somatic cell during anaphase? If mitosis makes somatic cells, what does meiosis make?
What do chromosomes do in meiosis but not in mitosis? Are germ cells haploid or diploid? What cell has 22 autosomes and a y chromosome? How does meiosis get its diploid cell? How many diploid cells do humans have? What type of cell has two sets of chromosomes?
