What are the 4 parts of mitosis and what happens to the chromosomes in each?
the four parts of mitosis are prophase,metaphase, anaphase, and telophasein prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down and a spindle forms between to centrioles. in metaphase,the chromosomes align along the equator of the cell.in anaphase, the chromatids (duplicated chromosomes) are seperated.in telophase,the two cells begin to pull apart, but with plant cells, a cell wall is built in between the two cells.
Do diploid cells undergo in mitosis?
In fact diploid cells are divided by meiosis. The process of meiosis is to divide a diploid cell into four haploid cells to produce gametes. In the second stage of meiosis it divides the two cell into to equal parts without duplicating the new genetic material. If you did this with a haploid cell, you would end up with a 1/4 of the original number of chromosomes. For example if a human haploid chromosome divided it would only have 11.5 chromosomes.
What parts of chromosomes are visible in nondividing cells?
Congrition movement and Metamorphosis are seen in meiosis but not in mitosis
What process occurs in the first of meiosis but is absent in mitosis?
There are many differences between meiosis and mitosis, and it can all be summed up by understanding they have different functions in life processes. Mitosis is all about creating cells that are identical to each other asexually. This provides multi-cellularity in multicellular beings. Meiosis, on the other hand, is all about the production of gametes (sex cells) from a single germ cell in order to make sexual reproduction possible. Taking all of this into considering, Mitosis is seen as being a part of a cyclical cell life cycle, so it happens more than once. Meiosis is a process that happens only once for a germ cell largely because it is a process that creates haploid cells from diploid cells. Note that because of these differences Mitosis requires the replication of DNA to occur in order for diploid cells to create more diploid cells. Diploid meaning that a full set of chromosomes are present; human diploid cells would have 46 chromosomes, 23 from the mother and 23 from the father that are paired up with each other. Haploid, would mean 23 human chromosomes in total; with regards to Meiosis, the chromosomes would be a combination of the genes that an individual inherited from his or her parents. In Meiosis, which is divided into two parts, replication of DNA occurs before Meiosis I is carried out, but no replication occurs before proceeding to Meiosis II in order to achieve creating haploid cells.
What parts of the body to cells reproduce quickly besides skin?
so hair cells divide really fast too. That's why when treating cancer (rapidly dividing cells) you may lose your hair. Because the treatment like radiation or chemo kills all rapidly dividing cells
Are chromosomes and sex cells the two major cells in your body?
No. Chromosomes are parts of cells, and sex cells are just one of many types of cells.

What is the characteristic number of chromosomes in human somatic cells?
In human, somatic cells are the cells that make up the body parts of an individual, other than the germ cells. They contain 46 chromosomes organized into 23 pairs.
What parts of your body does meiosis occur?
it occurs in the gametes, the sex cells. where mitosis occurs in all other cells that have two halves of chromosomes, meiosis occurs in cells which only have one half of the chromosomes.
What happens to other cell parts when the cell divide?
they duplicate
The chromosomes present in the salivary gland of dipteran insects is?
The same as in every other cell of their bodies. All chromosomes are present in all cells, just different parts are activated so they influence the cells.
What parts of a moss have diploid cells?
2 sets of chromosomes in their vegetative cells and are said to be diploid, both have the same or similar genetic information.
Do animal cells have a chromosomes?
Yes, as a matter of fact, all living that reproduce via mitosis or meiosis will form chromosomes. Chromosomes are only formed during these ways of reproducing. At all other parts of a cell's life, chromosomes are stringy matter called chromatin.
What is occurring in a cell during interpahse?
The cells begin to divide into two main parts.
Why do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during metaphase?
It is important that chromosomes move during mitosis because the chromosomes' sister chromatids need to separate. They must separate to become daughter cell-carrying chromosomes themselves.
Do diploid cells undergo in mitosis?
In fact diploid cells are divided by meiosis. The process of meiosis is to divide a diploid cell into four haploid cells to produce gametes. In the second stage of meiosis it divides the two cell into to equal parts without duplicating the new genetic material.

Sperm and eggs are known as sex cells or sex chromosomes?
The only thing that I can say is that chromosomes are parts that decide character traits inside a cell.
