What are somatic cell and germ cell?
Germ cells are cells that become gametes (are n: have have the genetic material) and somatic cells are all the rest (2n)
Is somatic cells associated with meiosis?
Somatic cells are not associated with meiosis. Meiosis only occurs in specialized cells called germ cells, which are responsible for producing eggs or sperm in organisms undergoing sexual reproduction. Somatic cells, on the other hand, undergo mitosis for growth and repair in multicellular organisms.
Would a skin cell mutation on your hand affect your offspring?
No, a mutation in a skin cell on your hand would not affect your offspring because mutations in somatic cells (like skin cells) are not passed on to the next generation. Offspring inherit genetic information from germ cells (sperm and egg cells) which are not affected by mutations in somatic cells.
Can germ cells be involved in mitosis?
No, germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells), not mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces genetically identical daughter cells for growth and repair in somatic cells.
Cells that undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division are called?
Somatic cells undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division. Meiotic division is only seen in germ cells to produce gametes.
How does soma relate to the meanings of autosome and somatic cells?
The soma, from the Greek word meaning body, is the entire body - except the germ (sex) cells. This is related to the meanings of autosome and somatic because: Autosome refers to chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes. Somatic cells are all cells that are not sex cells (gametes/germ cells).
What cell type is diploid sex cell or ovum or gamete or somatic cell?
The diploid cell type is the somatic cell. Gametes, such as ovum, are haploid cells that are produced by the process of meiosis from diploid germ cells.
What are body cells called?
there are many different cells in the human body, but they are all eukaryotic cells (which is one of the two types of cells)
What type of Cell carries out mitosis and meiosis?
Somatic cells carry out mitosis, while germ cells carry out meiosis. Somatic cells are body cells that undergo division for growth and repair, while germ cells are sex cells that undergo division to produce gametes for sexual reproduction.
What produces gametes cells?
germ cells
What is another word for sperm?
gamete cell (eggs are gametes too)germ cells (so are egg cells)"little swimmers"seedsemen (actually semen contains sperm)
What kind of cells do germ cells produce?
gametes
