∙ 13y agoSex cells only have half the chromosomes of a normal cell (23 chromosomes). That way the to sex cells can join to form a new organism.

The longest cell in human body?
The Longest cell in the human body is the nerve cell.
What is the purpose of somatic cell donor?
Somatic cells are body cells that contain a full set of chromosomes. I imagine that a somatic cell donor donates healthy body cells to someone who needs them.
How does cell division help organisms grow?
After fertilization (this occurs during sexual reproduction; meosis), cell division must occur to physically develop and grow an organism (eg. humans: our skin and other cells of different tissues of different organs reproduce and grow using cell division). Also, the cells of different tissues of different organs inside our body must reproduce using cell division. There are important microorganisms (bacteria) that enable us, animals, to grow. A classic example is Eschericia Coli (E. Coli) This bacteria, like any other bacteria, must use cell division to grow.
What cell carry messages to and from the different parts the body?
Neuron carries messages from different parts of the body.
What is the most basic building block of the human organism?
Ummm... There are differnet cells that build the body. There are muscle cells that build muscle, skin cells that build skin, nerve cells that make up nerves, bone cells that make up bones, and blood cells that make up blood. There is no one cell that "builds" the body. Bodies have many different cells.
How sex cells different from any other cell in your body?
Sex cells have 1/2 the number of chromosomes than body cells. In humans that is 23.
What is it called when half of your body is longer than the other half?
the answer to that question is if your blood cell don't match the other your body is mot a half your cells are different then most of your cell in your body
What is true of the body cells of an organism?
Most cells are somatic (body) cells. The only exception is the gametes.
What type of cell division does your body cells undergo And why can your body cells ONLY use this type of cell division?
Body cells undergo mitotic cell division so that each daughter cell is genetically identical to each parent cell and to all other body cells.
What are the different kinds of cell in the body?
Skin cells White blood cells Red blood cells New cell (formed from existing cells)
How are human red blood cells different from other human cells?
All other cells in the human body are the only type that are prokaryotic, meaning that they do not contain a nucleus, the control center of the cell.
How are sex cells are different from other body cells?
They have haploid number of chromosomes. They undergo meiosis cell division during their formation.it is the type of cell division in which the chromosome number of the parent is reduced cells to half in the daughter cells.
How are body cells different from sex cells?
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
A cell tha protects the body be eating invading cells is known as?
This is phenomena known as cellular immunity in which macrophages of body eats the invading cell but before that the foreign cell have to modify by MHC or some other type of molecules in the body so that these macrophagic cell can identify the forieng invading cell. Macrophages cells in different part of body are known by different name such as in nervous system they are known as neuroglial cell, in live known as kuffer cells etc.
Why do cells and a developing embryo differentiate?
Cells have two be different otherwise the different cell types in our bodies wouldn't be able to do different jobs: e.g. red blood cells have no nucleus, this is so more oxygen can be stored and move around the body; a bladder cell has a nucleus like all other cells but unlike other cells it can stretch to hold any extra fluid before it is removed out of the body. Well done.
What are the 4 type of cells in the human body?
There are more than 4 types of cells in the human body. There are about 200 different types of cells. Each cell has a different function.
Can heart cells come from bone cells?
no, heart cells and bone cells are mature and cannot change into each other. However, a stem cell can become a heart cell or bone cell or any other cell depending on where in the body it is.
