Why wouldn't a mutation in a non-reproductive cell be passed on to offspring?
If this mutation isn't present with a gamete cell, then it can not be passed onto the offspring. A non-reproductive cell would be cells that are highly organzied such as nerve cells or brain cells.
Cell type which undergoes process meiosis?
Germ cells undergo meiosis to form the gametes.
What is a non living pathogen that invades body cells?
Viruses
How does the body store non reducing sugars?
in fat cells
What are dividing normal human cells called?
Healthy, non-cancerous cells.
What is a non reproductive cell?
what is a non-reproductive cell?
Why are mutation that occur body cells not pass on to its offspring?
This is because body cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.
Are Somatic cells nonreproductive cells?
Yes, somatic cells are non-reproductive cells.
What does non - reproductive cells mean?
Non- reproductive cells cannot split apart to make more cells. For example, brain cells are non- reproductive cells. You can never get more. Things like drugs and alcohol kill brain cells and they can never come back. So once they're gone, they're gone.

Who concluded that two kinds of cells reproductive and non-reproductive cells exist?
Who is the person associated with this statement? Concluded that two kinds of cells, reproductive and nonreproductive, exist. august weismann
What are the function of mitosis?
mitosis is a process where somatic cells split. that means a single cell become two, two become four, four become eight, and so on. somatic cells are non reproductive cells, like muscle cells. for reproductive cells, like sperm, the same process called meiosis
What is a non-reproductive cell?
It is called SOMATIC cells or body cells. A somatic cell is any cell of the body except sperm and egg cells. Somatic cells are diploid, meaning that they contain two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent.
Is Golgi body found in both plant and animal cells?
Yes it is - the differences between plant and animal cells are essentially that plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplast (which animal cells do not have) and animal cells have centrioles (which help to make up the cytoskeleton of the cell, and which plant cells do not have). You can say in general that plant cells do not have flagellum, where animal cells do, but there are flagellum on plant reproductive cells. So just say that somatic (non-reproductive cells) plant cells do not have flagellum.
Why do cells need to go through division?
Mitosis is how somatic-or non-reproductive cells-divide. ... In mitosis, the important thing to remember is that the daughter cells each have the same chromosomes and DNA as the parent cell. The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes.
What type of cell undergoes mitosis?
Mitosis is the form of cell division that most eukaryotic cells undergo. In humans, all somatic (non-sex) cells use mitosis to divide. Sex-cells use meiosis instead of mitosis.
Cell type which undergoes process meiosis?
Germ cells undergo meiosis to form the gametes.
