What are gland cells? What cells make up the skeletal system? What are the 3 parts of the nerve cell? What does the nucleus do in a neuron? What is different about all somatic cells? What cells are found in the peripheral nervous system?
Do somatic cells have barr bodies? Are somatic stem cells unipotent? Where are somatic stem cells found in the body? What cells make up the skeletal system? What is the somatic peripheral nervous system? What are the names of the somatic efferent motor neurons?
The short answer is that stem cells are undifferentiated cells with power to make other kinds of cells. Most cells cannot do that as they can only make more of themselves. What this means is that stem cells can be used to make specialized cells. These include neurons, heart cells, and mo...
Where do stem cells come from? Stem cells can be obtained from a variety of sourcesincluding; umbilical cord tissue, umbilical cord blood, bone marrow, adipose (fat) tissue, placental tissue, dental pulp, and embryos. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which come...
In humans and many other animals, some cells contribute to what is called thenervous system, which is responsible for communication of the organism both internally and with the outside environment. The cells that make up the majority of this system are calledneurons, or simply nerve cells. ...
Most cells of the body aresomatic cells, meaning that they do not play a role in reproduction. Almost all of these cells undergo mitosis, supplying new cells for growth, tissue repair and other day-to-day needs. On the other hand, gametes, also called germ cells, arise from a process ...
How does a germ cell become a somatic cell? Why do cells have organelles? How does cell differentiation happen? Describe the eukaryotic sub-cellular cell and organelles. Do bacterial cells have centrioles? What happens to a plant cell in an isotonic solution? Does mitosis take place in pancre...
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 gametes, are produced via a different process, called meiosis. Today, we’re going to talk about both of these. How are they different? How are they similar...
Broadly, mutations fall into two categories — somatic mutations and germline mutations — according to the authors of “An Introduction to Genetic Analysis, 7th Ed” (W.H Freeman, 2000). Somatic mutations occur in their namesakesomatic cells, which refers to the various cells of one’s body ...
In the following, we identify, categorize and analyze arguments on bioethical challenges of conventional somatic gene therapy. The aim of our study is to provide a systematic overview of the arguments used in the discussion about human gene therapy in somatic cells using conventional techniques that...
