Is the DNA in each cell of a single organism exactly the same?
Nickel82810
First of all DNA is not a cell. Second of all if DNA was all the same then we would also be the same in thought, apearance, and function. The only time DNA is the same is when it makes up a multicelled organism (or if a Organism is cloned or for a spieces of unicelluar organisms). This was explained by a seven year old,

∙ 8y agoFor the most part, all cells within a single organism have the same set of DNA and genes. Cells in different parts of the body express genes differently, which is what allows the different cell types to exist.Certain cells within an organism may develop mutations in their genetic information, thus resulting in cells that do not have the same DNA and genes. An example of this is cancer. In addition, different cells may silence one chromosome and only express the genes in the other. This is the case in females, which have two X chromosomes (one from their mother and one from their father). In each cell, one of the X chromosomes is randomly silenced, so the genes expressed in different cells will vary depending on which X chromosome is silenced and which is expressed.

∙ 15y agoyes, for instance, if you take any two cells from your body, they will have the exact same DNA structure

∙ 8y agoYes of course they do. They have similar genes

How are unicellular different from multicellular?
Unicellular organisms have only one cell for each organism. Multicellular organisms are organisms with more than one cell for each organism.
What is the differences between the human body and a single cell?
Single-cell organisms, also called protists (because they are placed in the kingdom Protozoa) contain all the devices necessary for life in a single cell. This would include devices for ingesting food, moving from place to place (in those that are motile), and eliminating waste, and possibly even defence mechanisms. The one cell of these organisms is not dependent on any other cell to survive. Human cells, on the other hand, each perform specific functions, are not self contained, and rely completely on the entire system, or a good part of it, for survival. A single human cell, removed from the body will not survive long. Ray
Which statement correctly describes a single-celled organism?
The statement which best compares a multicellular organism to a single-celled organism is their functions. While multicellular organisms use organ systems to perform life functions, single-celled organisms do not use organs for the life functions.
Why is it beneficial to be multicellular?
Because a single cell isn't very complex. The more cells an organism has, the more it can specialize it's cells, such as all the specialized cells that make up your brain, stomach, skeleton, muscles, etc. An organism that is made up of only one cell, that one cell has to do everything that each of our specialized cells do.
What is tetraploid?
An organism is tetraploid if each autosomal cell contains 4 copies of each chromosome.
About how thick is hypha?
each hypha is exactly one cell thick.
How are the organelles of a single cell like the organs of a multicelluar organism?
Each organelle has a specific function
What is Definition of unicellular?
"Unicellular" refers to life, in which each organism only has a single cell.
How are unicellular different from multicellular?
Unicellular organisms have only one cell for each organism. Multicellular organisms are organisms with more than one cell for each organism.

Does each cell work alone in a multicellular organism?
No
In a multicellular organism each cell has?
Half the genetic information in a sex cell
Distinguish between organelle and organism?
organism is constituted of organelles.organelles are like mitochondria,chloroplast,golgi.......etc well to be more precise an organelle is an intercellular compartment in the cell in which different functions related to cells are performed. while an organism is a living thing made up of single cell or many cells and each cell is composed of different organelles

What fraction of its chromosome does an organism get from each parent?
Exactly 1/2.
What do you call separate roles for each type of cell in a multicellular organism?
Cell differentiation
Which tissue has single nucleus in each cell?
cardiac cell
