What else can I help you with?
True or false cell increases in size it usually makes extra copies of its DNA?
A cell does not make "extra copies" of DNA. Through a persons life, DNA can only be copied so many times. The only time DNA does "copy itself" would be if a new cell is needed. For example, your skin cells die all the time and are shedded off from your skins surface. Your skin then is going to get to the point where more cells are going to be made. The DNA replicating process is what starts the process of cell mitosis (making more cells). All the DNA in your body is used, so a cell does not make extra copies of DNA. If the DNA gets destroyed, that cell dies and is replaced by another.
Do chromosomes make copies of themselves?
Yes, chromosomes make copies of themselves through a process called DNA replication. During cell division, each chromosome is duplicated to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of genetic material.
How do you explain how copies of viruses are produced?
Viruses replicate by hijacking host cells and using their machinery to make copies of themselves. Once inside a host cell, the virus releases its genetic material, which then directs the host cell to produce viral proteins and assemble new viral particles. These new virus particles can then infect other cells and continue the replication cycle.
Body cells are called?
Body cells are called somatic cells. Soma- means body. Germ cells are those that produce egg or sperm.
How does the virus make copies of itself?
Viruses make copies of themselves by hijacking host cells and using the cell's machinery to replicate their genetic material. The virus enters the host cell, releases its genetic material, and tricks the cell into making viral proteins and new viral particles. These new viral particles then go on to infect other cells and continue the cycle of replication.
How do cells divide to make exact copies of themselves?
Mitosis
What is the process of which cells can make copies of itself?
Cell division.
The cells in your skin can make duplicate copies of themselves. This is called?
Mitosis
What do spindle fibers and chromosomes form?
make copies of cells - mitosis
Why is it necessary for a virus to invade a living cell to make copies of itself?
Since viruses are nonliving they have to invade and hijack a living cells DNA to make more copies of itself. If it cannot do this it cannot make more copies of itself.
Why do bone cells make exact copies of themselves?
When bone cells divide they must produce cells exact copies of themselves.
When cells make identical copies of themselves without involvement of other cells it is called?
When cells make identical copies of themselves without involvement of other cells, it is called cell division through the process of mitosis. Mitosis involves a series of steps that result in the formation of two identical daughter cells with the same genetic material as the parent cell.

What do cells to make copies of themselves?
The process of cell division is called mitosis. Without division, you and I wouldn't grow as we do.
Can cells make other completely different cells?
No, they make EXACT copies of the original.Another answer:Usually that is true but stem cells are either totipotent or pluripotent meaning that they can be anything. Your very first cells were this type. As they divided, they became various tissues and then organs, etc.
What do viruses eat?
Viruses do not technically "eat" in the same way that living organisms do. Instead, they rely on host cells to replicate and reproduce. Once inside a host cell, a virus will hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of itself.
What does Swine Flu H1N1 eat?
The swine flu, like the seasonal flu, is caused by a virus. Viruses don't eat. Viruses are not alive. They each are more like a sub-microscopic sack of chemicals that is able to stick to your individual cells and make you sick. The viruses make your body create copies of them to make more virus particles to stick to more of your cells. All materials needed to make copies, and all the work to make the copies, is provided by the cells of the infected person (or other animal), which have been invaded and hijacked by the virus, so they have no need to get nourishment even if they could.
