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.

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 happens to the cells that enter the G0 stage?
The cells are alive and metabolically active.
What is the difference between Cells and Genes?
The Cells hold the genes. Genes are a part of DNA, which is located in the Nucleus of a Cell.
What happens when cells dont divide when they should?
A tumor will form and cancer will result.
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.
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?
They are called CHROMOTIDS
What happens to DNA and chromosomes when cells in most parts of the body divide?
The DNA and chromosomes divide with it
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 is the replication or synthesis of DNA and associated proteins that happens before cells divide?
Look up HeLa cells!
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 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.
