The fact that plants can be cloned from somatic cells demonstrates that?

Somatic cells are body cells. Due to the fact that each of the differentiated cells stem from the initial cell they retain all the genes found in the zygote.

Cells that do not produce gametes are called?
In humans, cells that do not produce gametes are collectively called somatic cells. Somatic cells do not include sperm and ova, the cells from which they are made, and undifferentiated stem cells.
Are Somatic cells nonreproductive cells?
Yes, somatic cells are non-reproductive cells.
A somatic cell having two of each type of chromosome has a chromosome number?
Tell me about Somatic Cells ? Tell me about Somatic Cells ? Tell me about Somatic Cells ?
Is somatic cells associated with meiosis?
no. somatic cells are all cells of the body that are not gametes. meiosis only involves the production of gametes. not somatic cells
Why do somatic cells divide?
Somatic cells divide in order for organisms to grow and replace the cells that die.
If mutation occurs in somatic cells could the change be passed on by the mutant to its offspring?
Not with natural reproduction. If you cloned the parent that had the somatic mutation, you could pass it on to the offspring if you used the nucleus from the cell that had the somatic mutation.
Where are somatic cells found in organisms?
Somatic cells are any of the cells that are found in plants or animals other than the reproductive cell or gamete cell. In mammals the somatic cells are found in the skin, bones, blood, connective tissue. In plants they are found in stems, leaves, roots, branches.
How is the dermis formed?
The division of the somatic cells (epithelial cells) in animal tissues/collenchyma cells in plants.
Which process produces cloned cells?
chromosome duplication

How is the cloning of genes different from the cloning mammals?
The difference between cloning genes and cloning a mammal is that when a gene is cloned, it is typically removed from a DNA sequence and inserted into an organism. The cloning of a mammal, however, is when a somatic cells from the mammal are cloned to produce a "copy" of the mammal.
Do gametes come from germ cells of somatic cells?
somatic cell
Transgenic cloned sheep were used to produce what medical protein?
The transgene that was inserted in the donor somatic cells was designed to express human clotting factor IX protein in the milk of sheep.
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).
