Yes, because they all came from the same cell so all will have the same DNA that contains the genetic information.

Somatic cells are genetically identical. These cells can be found in animals.

No, due to replication process in the dividing somatic cells the ammount of DNA is more than the non-dividing somatic cells.

How does one somatic cell compare to the other somatic cells of an individual organism?

== == Somatic cells are body cells that contain 46 chromosomes and reproduce very rapidly. Reproductive cells are sex cells(sperm and egg)(dont rproduce as fast as somatic cells)and they contain 23 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes in bone marrow?

Every cell has the same number of chromosomes (except for sex cells), based on the specific organism's species. Humans have 46 chromosomes in each nucleus, and their sex cells have 23.


Why is all of your DNA in all somatic cells?

Somatic cells are all the cells in an organism's body except for the gametes. Certain somatic cells may have different functions in an organism due to differences in gene expression; which simply mean that somatic cells only use certain parts of the DNA. Therefore, all somatic cells have the same DNA. When these cells develop, they will specialize into certain types of cells depending on which genes will turn "on."


Is DNA code the same in every somatic cells in human body?

Somatic cells are body cells which are important part of the body's multicellularity and function. So they should have same DNA code in order to maintain a balance in the functioning of the body. And except sex cells (gamates) all the cells of human body (i.e. somatic cells) have the same DNA code. Another reason for this is mitosis. As body cells arise from mitosis, the division is conservative and doesn't involve any process of inducing variation in the cells, hence all the cells originating from it have the same DNA code.


If a cell in a dog undergoes meiosis and another cell undergoes mitosis how many chromosomes will each resulting cell contain?

Meiosis is usually reserved for cells used in sexual reproduction. They have half the number of chromosomes found in the organism's somatic cells. A mosquito has six chromosomes in its somatic cells, and therefore would have three in each gamete formed by meiosis.

Gametes contain one half one quarter or is equal to the number of alles found in other cells in the body of an organism?

Gametes contain half of the number of chromosomes as somatic cells (the other cells of your body). These chromosomes have the same number of alleles on them as somatic cells, but gametes contain one allele of each gene while somatic cells contain two alleles of each gene. So, they contain half the amount of alleles that the rest of your cells do.


Do neurons hold the same genetic information as somatic cells?

No, there is not any information that neurons hold the same genetic information as somatic cells. Somatic cells are the biological form of an animal, neurons are the forms of elements not organisms.

Are adult cells and somatic cells the same?

Adult cells could refer to any cell in the adult body. Somatic cells however, are body cells (cells that have diploid number of chromosomes), different from germ cells (containing haploid number of chromosomes)

Do cells contain the same amount of T as A?

In terms of DNA base pairing, adenine and thymine are complimentary bases. Therefore, for every base of adenine, there will be a base of thymine to compliment it. Therefore, cells contain the same amount of the bases adenine (A) and thymine (T).


Why all somatic cells undergo mitosis and some cells in the gonads undergo meiosis?

this is because there all the same type of cell and so somatic diseases are passed on by not mutating the gene and if a somatic diseseases can mutate to become zombies
