How many chromosomes in a arm of a baby?
46...same as any other somatic cell in the body
What is a tax rate that is fixed regardless of income?
In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure. Chromosomes are not visible in the cell's nucleus-not even under a microscope-when the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division. Each chromosome has a constriction point called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into two sections, or "arms." The short arm of the chromosome is labeled the "p arm." The long arm of the chromosome is labeled the "q arm." The location of the centromere on each chromosome gives the chromosome its characteristic shape, and can be used to help describe the location of specific genes
What are long arm chromosomes is called?
Long arm chromosomes are called q arms, while short arm chromosomes are called p arms. These arms are distinguished based on their relative length and position in the chromosome.
What are the functions of the long arm of the chromosome?
The long arm of a chromosome carries important genetic information in the form of genes that code for various traits and characteristics. It also plays a role in regulating gene expression, chromosomal structure, and chromosome pairing during cell division. Additionally, the long arm facilitates interactions with other molecules within the cell for proper cell function.
How many muscles does the human arm have?
there about 50 muscles in your arm and hand and i don't know how many are in the sholder
What are the two chromatid arms on chromosomes called?
The two chromatid arms on chromosomes are called the "p arm" and the "q arm." The p arm is the shorter arm, while the q arm is the longer one. These designations help in identifying the location of genes and structural features on the chromosome. The terms are derived from the French words "petit" (small) for the p arm and "queue" (tail) for the q arm.
Are dendrites and axons both armlike processes that extend from cell bodies?
Yes, it is true. Dendrites: Arm-like processes that extend from the cell body of all neurons which receive signals. They are short, tapering, and have branching extensions and are usually found close to the cell body. Dendrites are unmyelinated (slow conductors). Axons: Are single arm-like process that extends from the cell body of all neurons which generate and transmit nerve impulses. They can be long (up to ~ 1 meter) or short with diffuse branching at the end. Axons are myelinated (fast conductors).
The muscles of your arm are primarily composed of what cell type?
The arm muscles are made up of muscle fibers or skeletal muscles. The shape of the body is held together with the help of these muscles.
Can a partially torn tendon in your arm cause your white blood cell count to be a little high?
Having a partially torn tendon in your arm can definitely cause your white blood cell count to be a little high. White blood cell counts are high when there is infection or irritation in the body.
Is sperm a body part?
Yes, It is a 3rd arm that grows out of your anal cavity.
How many ulna bones are in the body?
two (one ulna in each arm)
During what cell can chromosomes be seen clearly?
In the early stages of mitosis or meiosis (cell division), the chromatin strands become more and more condensed. They cease to function as accessible genetic material (transcription stops) and become a compact transportable form. This compact form makes the individual chromosomes visible, and they form the classic four arm structure, a pair of sister chromatids attached to each other at the centromere. The shorter arms are called p arms (from the French petit, small) and the longer arms are called q arms (q follows p in the Latin alphabet). This is the only natural context in which individual chromosomes are visible with an optical microscope.
