What else can I help you with?
Are DNA in muscle and skin the same?
DNA is found in two organelles: the nucleus and the mitochondria. The amount of nuclear DNA is fixed and does not vary from cell to cell, but the number of mitochondria can affect the amount of mitochondrial DNA.
Would the DNA be the same in any cell in the human body?
Yes, (except for slight random replication mutations that may happen due to exposure to radiation or harsh chemicals or invasion by viruses) apart form the egg and sperm cells which contain only half the DNA.
Does all of the cells of a multi-cellular organism have the same DNA?
That is because there are different parts of DNA that become active depending on the functions and positions of different cells. For example, in a liver cell, the part of DNA that codes for the production of Insulin is not active, therefore, a hepatic cell can not produce Insulin. However, in some pancreatic cells that part of DNA is active and therefore these cells are able to produce Insulin. DNA is not fully activated in any cell.
How much DNA does each daughter cell contain when it is compared to the parent cell's DNA?
Daughter cells resulting from mitotic division have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Why is a liver cell different from a muscle cell and a muscle cell is different from a fat cell?
DNA is alike in other cells of the body, but depending on the specific cell type, some genes may be turned on or off. this is why a liver cell is different from a muscle cell and a muscle cell is different from a fat cell.
Does the DNA in the skin cell have the same sequence of bases as the DNA in the brain cell of the same organism?
It is true thatÊthe DNA in the skin cell have the same sequence of bases as the DNA in the brain cell of the same organism. The sequence of the bases should be the same in all cells of an organism.
Why does a skin cell divide more often than liver cell?
As far as I know, liver cells usually only undergo mitosis if the liver is damaged. You should check a few other sources though.
If a skin cell has 40 micrograms of DNA during G1 how much DNA will it have during prophase?
During prophase, when the cell is preparing for cell division, the amount of DNA in a skin cell remains the same as in G1 phase. So, the skin cell will still have 40 micrograms of DNA during prophase.
Is the DNA in people's cheek cells as the same as the DNA in other cells?
Yes. Within a single person, all of the somatic cells have the same nuclear genomic DNA; it does not matter if you compare DNA from a cheek cell to a liver cell.
Why does the human liver and heart have the same number of dna bases?
The human liver and heart have the same number of DNA bases because all cells in the human body contain the same set of genetic information in the form of DNA. This DNA provides instructions for the development and function of different cell types, leading to the formation of specialized tissues like the liver and heart. This shared genetic blueprint ensures that each cell can perform its specific functions while also contributing to the overall functioning of the body.
How does DNA make a muscle cell different from a liver cell?
Muscle cells and liver cells have the same DNA, but they express different genes. This differential gene expression determines the unique characteristics and functions of each type of cell. Muscle cells express genes related to movement and contraction, while liver cells express genes related to metabolism and detoxification.
Why liver and skull cell are different but have same DNA?
The DNA in every cell contains a complete copy of the data needed to build a human body, however, in differentiated cells (everything but stem cells), not all of it is active. Some of it is turned on and some of it is turned off. So in a bone cell, the parts relating to bone formation are on, while a cell from a liver would have other parts on. Incidentally, there's no such thing as a "liver cell". Livers are made of different types of cells, the main type being parenchymal cells.
Can you extract DNA from a skin cell?
yes u can because skin cellls are something that holds dna
Does a cheek cell contain the same chromosomes as a liver cell?
Yes. In an individual, almost all cells contain DNA (Red Blood Cells do not). That DNA is tightly wound like you would twist a drawstring, and kept tightly coiled as chromosomes. Since chromosomes can be found in a cheek cell, a liver cell (hepatocyte), and almost all other cells, they all contain the same chromosomes, which inevitably have the same genes. What makes cheek cells different from liver cells is which genes are turned on and off. Cheek cells have different genes turned on compared to liver cells.
Why grind the liver in a DNA extraction lab?
Grinding the liver helps break down the cell membranes and release the cellular contents, including the DNA. This step is necessary to access the DNA trapped inside the liver cells and to make it available for further extraction and analysis.
Is your DNA in your brain the same as the DNA in your skin cells why or why not?
Yes, the DNA in all the cells of your body is the same. Each cell contains a complete set of DNA that includes all the genetic information needed for the body to function. However, not all genes are active in every cell type, resulting in different cell functions even though they have the same DNA.
Are DNA in muscle and skin the same?
DNA is found in two organelles: the nucleus and the mitochondria. The amount of nuclear DNA is fixed and does not vary from cell to cell, but the number of mitochondria can affect the amount of mitochondrial DNA.
