Cells that retain the ability to divide continuously without specializing are called?
Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.
Do your Cells grow as you grow?
yes, cells grow to an enlarged size and divide into two small cells (which each enlarge and divide as well). but the larger cells get, the more difficult it is for them to function and operate, so they remain within certain size boundaries, getting large enough to divide and halving, large enough to divide and halving.
How can a radioactive isotopes may be used to treat a medical problem?
It can control certain cells
Why do cells need to divide?
One of the major aspects of life is self replication, or reproduction. If cells didn't divide, then populations of organisms would not form, and evolution would be impossible. The more proximate cause is that as cells grow and ingest food, there is a limit to how big they can become before the cell wall no longer supports the cytoplasm. At or before this point, the cell must divide or it will lyse (split open) and die.
Basic function of nucleus?
In cells, the function of the nucleus is to control the cell. If I had to describe the nucleus in a cell, I would say the heart, or brain of the cell.
Cells that retain the ability to divide continuously without specializing are called?
Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.
Why don't we want cells to continuously divide?
Because if they divide continuously that means more blood and more am-unity against viruses and deceases..."Plus faster regeneration"
Meristems are regions of what?
These regions, where cells continuously divide, are where plant growth originates.
What happens in meristem regions of plants?
These regions, where cells continuously divide, are where plant growth originates.
What is difference between labile permanent and stable cell?
labile tissues continuously divide and replace old cell like skin cells stable cells divide in case of injury like liver cell and permanent tissues do not divide like neurons.
What disease causes the cells to divide out of control and produce growths?
Cancer.
Do all cells grow and divide at the same time?
Most cells do not continuously divide. These cells enter the G0 phase of the cell cycle after dividing and do not begin diving again until stimulated to do so. Growth factors, nutrients, etc. are required to make these start dividing again. When these cells are needed, the appropriate growth factors will be introduced, and then they will begin dividing again. Some cells do continuously divide, such as epithelial (skin) cells. The cells that keep on dividing, even though they are not supposed to, are cancer cells. They eat up all your nutrients and form tumors etc.
What human cell undergo constant mitosis?
Labile cells (the kinds of cells that can divide throughout their lifetime) normally do so within the organ they constitute. Some examples of labile cells are skin cells, cells of the gastrointestinal tract, and blood cells; however, blood cells divide in the bone marrow and lymphocytes divide in the lymph nodes. Other kinds of cells in the body are either stable cells (that do not normally divide--this includes nerve cells) and permanent cells (that do not have the ability to divide.)
Technical name for when a cell starts to reproduce or divide out of control?
Cancer is a condition characterized by cells dividing out of control
Why skin cells undergoing mitosis continously?
All cells are undergoing mitosis continuously to replace, cells that are dying continuously.
Do all human cells divide at the same time rate throughout life?
the cells which must help for a human's growth undergo it, in other words most do
Normal cells become cancer when?
Cells go through a cycle of replication that is normally regulated by a tumor-supressor gene (kind of like a red light for cells). During cancer, that part of the regulatory system is deactivated. What this means is cells can continuously replicated (kind of like a traffic jam).
