in germ cells, the DNA(Deinoribo Nucliec Acid) is more of a circular shape.in most other organisms, the DNA is in the familier double helix structure

How many cells can a zebra have?

Somatic and germ cells, primarily.


What are somatic cells Short answer please?

Somatic cells are all the cells that make up an organism except for germ cells.


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.


Are adult cells and somatic cells the same?

Adult cells could refer to any cell in the adult body. Somatic cells however, are body cells (cells that have diploid number of chromosomes), different from germ cells (containing haploid number of chromosomes)


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).


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.


What are the two types of cells found in the body?

Sex cells (germ cells) and somatic (body cells) cells


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.


What cells carry out mitosis?

Somatic cells, which are any cell in the body other than germ cells (sperm and egg cells), carry out mitosis. Mitosis is the process by which somatic cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


What are the two different kinds of animal cells?

The two main types of animal cells are somatic cells and germ cells. Somatic cells form the tissues, organs, and other parts of the organism, while germ cells are involved in reproduction and pass genetic information to the next generation.
