What else can I help you with?
Body cells can be called?
Somatic cell.
What is another name for normal body cells?
Another name for body cells is somatic cells.
What Mutation does not affect the offsping?
Somatic mutations are not passed on to offspring because they occur in non-reproductive cells. These mutations only affect the individual in which they occur, and are not transmitted to future generations.
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.
Do gametes come from germ cells of somatic cells?
somatic cell
For a mutation to affect evolution it must occur in?
For a mutation to affect evolution, it must occur in the DNA of reproductive cells (sperm or egg cells) so that it can be passed on to offspring. Mutations that occur in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) do not directly impact evolution as they are not inherited by future generations.
Are mutations in somatic cells heritable?
Nothing in somatic cells is inheritable unless it shows up in the gametes as well. As such, if a somatic cell experiences a mutation, it can only affect that cell and any cell it creates.
How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?
Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.
Is telomerase active in somatic cells?
No, telomerase is typically not active in somatic cells.
What do somatic cells form?
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
Body cells are also known as?
If you're not referring to the term somatic cells, I suppose they could also be known as animal cells - at least in most animals.
What kind of cells go through mitosis somatic cells or gametes?
Somatic cells undergo mitosis.
