What else can I help you with?
DNA that is spread out in a non dividing cell is called?
Chromatin. It consists of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones and is found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells.
Do all somatic cells contain the same amount of DNA?
yes all somatic bady cells have the same genetic make up except lymphocyets.
What does the DNA look like in a cell that is ready to divide?
In a cell that is ready to divide, the DNA is tightly packed into structures called chromosomes. These chromosomes are visible under a microscope and consist of two chromatids joined at a centromere. The DNA is condensed and organized to ensure equal distribution to the daughter cells during cell division.
Why do cells copy all the DNA chromosomes before dividing into two new cells?
In order for cells to divide and produce properly working cells, each resulting cell has to contain all the proper DNA. As such, the DNA is replicated so the cells each have the full DNA, so nothing is missing.
Why vincristine and adriamycin fatal to cell?
Vincristine interferes with the formation of the mitotic spindle, leading to disruption of cell division. Adriamycin disrupts DNA synthesis by intercalating into DNA and inhibiting topoisomerase II enzyme, which creates breaks in DNA strands. Overall, these actions prevent cancer cells from dividing and proliferating, ultimately leading to cell death.
DNA and proteins that are scrunched up into rod shaped structures in dividing cells?
chromatin
What is it called when the nucleus of the cell are made of tightly wound stance of DNA?
When DNA is packed up tightly in dividing cells, it is referred to as a chromosome. The packing process is called DNA condensation.
DNA that is spread out in a non dividing cell is called?
Chromatin. It consists of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones and is found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells.
What form is genetic information for dividing cells?
Genetic information for dividing cells is stored in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). During cell division, DNA is replicated and organized into structures called chromosomes, which ensure that genetic material is accurately distributed to daughter cells. This process occurs during mitosis for somatic cells and meiosis for gametes, allowing for the preservation and transmission of genetic information.
What is the name of the process of a cell dividing into 4 cells with half the DNA?
Meiosis.
Why the actively dividing cells of the epidermis stain very darkly?
Actively dividing cells of the epidermis stain darkly with hematoxylin because it binds to the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) found in the nucleus, which are abundant in dividing cells. This allows for easy visualization of these cells under a microscope.
Do cells in the G0 phase synthesize DNA?
No. DNA synthesis occurs in the S phase. Cells in the G0 phase are not preparing for cell division.
What stage do some non-dividing cells stay at?
Interphase is considered non-dividing, but that doesn't mean that the cell's organelles and DNA aren't replicating.
What are uncoiled chromosomes in the nucleus of non dividing cells called?
Chromatid
What is it called when one cell reproduces by dividing in half to become two cells?
The process in which one cell reproduces by dividing in half to form two cells is called binary fission. This method of asexual reproduction is commonly seen in prokaryotic organisms, such as bacteria. During binary fission, the DNA of the cell is duplicated, and the cell splits into two genetically identical daughter cells.
When does the DNA replication process occur?
Constantly. Body (and plant and animal) cells are dividing all the time.
A threadlike material of DNA and protein found in the nuclei of non-dividing cells?
Chromatin is the threadlike material of DNA and proteins found in the nuclei of non-dividing cells. It helps to package the long strands of DNA into a more compact structure, which is necessary for the regulation of gene expression and overall cell function.
