If a cell divides by mitosis both cells will have the diploid (2N) number of chromosomes. These two cells will have identical DNA
If a cell divides by meiosis subsequent cells will have the haploid (1N) number
of chromosomes. These cells will have the same basic amount of DNA but the DNA will not be identical. If the sex chromosomes are different sizes (like the X and Y chromosomes of humans) the DNA will vary a bit more dramatically if the meiosis
includes the additional variation of the different sex chromosomes.
What else can I help you with?
Cells that no longer divide are called what?
Cells that no longer divide are called senescent cells. Senescence occurs when the telomeres found in the DNA of organisms become too short.
What are threadlike structures in a nucleus of cells that contain genes?
chromosome
Do different cells have different genes?
If the cells are from one individual, all will have the same genes except their sex cells which have 1/2 the number. A dog will have different genes from a cat. The genes make the cat different from the dog and human.
Why can cancer be considered a disease of the cell cycle?
because cancer happens when control over the cell cycle has broken down the cell cycle is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide, and cancer is a disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
What is the difference between Cells and Genes?
Cells are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms, containing all the necessary components for life. Genes, on the other hand, are segments of DNA that contain instructions for building proteins and determining traits. Genes are found within cells and are passed down from parents to offspring.
When cells are stimulated to divide what happens?
They divide.
The two types of cell cycle genes if mutated cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably are called tumor suppressor genes and?
The two types of cell cycle genes that cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably if mutated are called tumor suppressor genes and antioncogene
What happens to cells as they grow and divide?
In multi-cellular organisms as cells grow and divide, they specialize.
Genes are found on these cell structures that become visible when cells divide?
Genes are found on chromosomes, which are thread-like structures composed of DNA and proteins. They become visible when cells divide through a process called mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes condense and are separated into two identical sets to be distributed to daughter cells.
Do eukaryotic cells have genes?
All cells have genes
What happens to living organisms if cell division is not controlled?
Cancer happens if the cells divide too fast.
Why do cells divide for replacement?
This is genetically determined. Genes act in very complex manner to keep the number of cells and size of the organ. How this happen is largely beyond the comprehension.
How do genes affect cells?
Genes tell cells how to make proteins.
What happens when cells are given nutrients?
When cells are given nutrients, they metabolize them, and grow and divide to create more cells. If they are not given nutrients, they die.
Which genes are present in your liver cells?
All your genes are present in your liver cells
What causes Eye Cancer?
Just like most other cancers, the cause is a change in the genes in a population of cells. The problem is that the cells continue to divide and the body cannot tell them to stop.
What happens in miosis?
A cell divide into four sex cells with half of the chromosomes. Meiosis only occurs in the genital with sex cells.
