What else can I help you with?
Is a hepatocyte a somatic cell?
Yes, a hepatocyte is a somatic cell. All the cells in the body, except for sex cells (sperm and ovum/egg), are somatic 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.
How many of sex chomosome and autosome are in a human somatic cell?
44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes are present in human somatic cells .
How many chromosomes in one sex cell?
Half of a somatic (body) cell. So 23.
How many chromosomes are in a mature sex cell?
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
Are the sex chromosomes paired in the cell?
yes,in the somatic cells.But not in the reproductive cells
How does this relate to the meaning of autosome snd somatic cell?
There both sex cells
What phase of the cell cycle is the somatic cell?
A somatic cell is any cell in the body or a plant and can therefore do anything, depending on where it is located. e.g. a muscle cell in an arm muscle contracts, an eye cell detects light etc. The only cells which are not somatic are the sex cells such as sperm, eggs (animals), pollen and ovum (plants).
What type of cell is Meiosis?
That type of division is done by a gamete (sex cell). mitosis is performed in a somatic (non-reproductive) cell.
Is a zygote somatic?
Yes; it is not a sex cell and it has 2n=46 chromosomes, whereas sex cells have n=23 chromosomes.
How does a mutation in sex cell differ from mutation in a non sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ in a mutation in a non-sex cell?
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
