What else can I help you with?
Which cells don't divide?
Brain cell do not divide in later life. Cardiac muscle divides itself less than 1% each year in humans.
What cell type divides very rapidly?
Cancer cells divide rapidly and uncontrollably, leading to the formation of tumors.
What are the examples of stable cells?
hepatocytes (liver cells) and cells in the kidney
One difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell is that?
a. cancer cells divide uncontrollably. b. normal cells cannot make copies of DNA. c. cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA. d. normal cells divide uncontrollably. (A) cancer cells divide uncontrollably
Can you describe the rate at which cancer cells divide?
Cancer cells can divide rapidly and uncontrollably, leading to the growth of tumors. This rapid division is a key characteristic of cancer and can contribute to the spread of the disease throughout the body.
Do heart muscle cells continue to divide when they reach maturity?
No.
Which cells don't divide?
Brain cell do not divide in later life. Cardiac muscle divides itself less than 1% each year in humans.
What cell type divides very rapidly?
Cancer cells divide rapidly and uncontrollably, leading to the formation of tumors.
Do all cells types divide at the same rate?
No, different cell types divide at different rates. For example, skin cells divide rapidly, while heart cells divide very slowly or not at all. The rate of cell division is determined by factors such as their function and location in the body.
Which cells lose their ability to replicate and divide?
There are many cells that loose their capability to divide after certain period of time ( a phenomenon known as replicative senescence in molecular biology). These cells are differentiated and are accustomed to the functions to which they are destined. Most of the cells in the animals are not able to divide, the best examples being neurons and cardiac cells.
Are cells that divide rapidly more sensitive to radiation?
No, they are just as sensitive as any other cell.
What are the examples of stable cells?
hepatocytes (liver cells) and cells in the kidney
One difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell is that?
a. cancer cells divide uncontrollably. b. normal cells cannot make copies of DNA. c. cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA. d. normal cells divide uncontrollably. (A) cancer cells divide uncontrollably
What happens in primary growth of a vascular plant?
Cells divide very rapidly at root and shoot apices
Can you describe the rate at which cancer cells divide?
Cancer cells can divide rapidly and uncontrollably, leading to the growth of tumors. This rapid division is a key characteristic of cancer and can contribute to the spread of the disease throughout the body.
What parts of the body to cells reproduce quickly besides skin?
so hair cells divide really fast too. That's why when treating cancer (rapidly dividing cells) you may lose your hair. Because the treatment like radiation or chemo kills all rapidly dividing cells
What biological toxin is cytotoxic to rapidly dividing cells?
Colchicine, for one. It fouls up microtubule formation, and cells cannot divide without microtubules. Actually, any cancer chemotherapy agent is cytotoxic to rapidly dividing cells. That's why your hair falls out with certain types of chemo.
