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).
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 do chromosomes transmit from cell to cell in the somatic cell?
A somatic cell is a cell that reproduces by mitosis. Therefore, a somatic cell transfers its information (in the chromosomes) by producing two daughter cells.
Another name for body cell?
Another name for body cells is somatic cells.
Body cells can be called?
Somatic cell.
What is somatic cell nuclear transfer?
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a laboratory technique where the nucleus of a somatic cell (e.g., skin cell) is transferred into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. This process creates a cloned embryo that can develop into an organism genetically identical to the somatic cell donor.
Is a liver cell a somatic cell?
Yes, a liver cell is a type of somatic cell. Somatic cells are any cell in the body that is not a sperm or egg cell. Liver cells are an example of somatic cells because they make up the majority of the cells in the liver and are responsible for the organ's function.
What is a somatic cell donor?
A somatic cell donor clones things. So a cloner.
What kind of cell cell is a somatic cell?
A somatic cell is part of the nervous system. (somatic also means body). This cell is a multicellular organsim.A somatic cell is also generally taken to mean any cell forming the body of an organism such as, internal organs skin, bones, blood and connective tissue are all made up of 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.
What is the final result in 1n somatic cell?
Genetically identical 1n somatic cells are the final result of the mitosis of a 1n somatic cell. Somatic comes from the Greek word soma, meaning body.
How many chromosomes are in a mature somatic cell?
The number of chromosomes in a mature somatic cell depends on the species, but it is the diploid number (2X). In a human somatic cell, that number is 46.
