The centriole's function is currently unknown and because of this, it is considered to be useless. Plants don't have centrioles, and it functions just fine as a plant. Centrioles are probably unnecessary in animals as well.

Which happens first mitosis or cell division?

Mitosis was first discovered and meiosis evolved out of mitosis. Mitosis stands for the first division of a cell into two genetic identically cells. Meiosis stands for two divisions into four genetic different cells.


During mitosis one cell divides into how many new daughter cells?

umm i think it is 2 but it might be 4 i get miosis and meiosis mixed up somtimes but i am pritty sur it is 2


A cell's nucleus divides to form two identical nuclei during the stage of the cell cycle known as?

The stage of the cell cycle where a cell's nucleus divides to form two identical nuclei is called mitosis. Mitosis is responsible for producing two identical daughter cells with the same genetic material as the parent cell.


What Cells are part of the Cell cycle but not a part of mitosis?

Sex cells, or germ cells; in females the eggs, and in males the sperm. They go through meiosis, and unlike in mitosis are only haploid, so they only have one copy of the genetic material, so that when they meet with another germ cell, they form a diploid zygote.


Centrioles might be observed in some of these cells with an electron microscope In which cells would these be observed and what is the function of these cell organelles?

Centrioles are found in animal cells and are involved in organizing the microtubules that make up the cell's cytoskeleton. They play a key role in cell division by ensuring proper chromosome segregation.


For what reasons might a cell use mitosis?

To Heal Injuries by reproducing itself (Cell division).


For what reasons might a cell use meiosis?

All human cells have 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs. In sexual reproduction, if an egg and a sperm each with 46 chromosomes joined then the zygote would have 92 chromosomes. To keep this from happening, cells undergo meiosis. In meiosis the cells replicate the chromosomes and divide then divide again so they end up with only 23 chromosomes. Cells with half the number of chromosomes are called gametes.


How fast do human cells do mitosis?

very fast ................... ask your boi teacher not the world because .................. you might get someone like me that dosent know


When you are born do you have billions of cells?

yes you are made of billions of cells You always have to have have billions of cells, or you will have a genetic meltdown. So yes, you do (but before you're born you're still undergoing mitosis, so you might have a little less than a billion).


What is the name of the process of asexual reproduction used by cells?

Binary fission is the process of creating one identical copy of a parent and is the most common example of asexual reproduction in protists. In the instances when they reproduce sexually, unsually under stress, it is called conjugation. In this process two parent protists fuse to exchange genetic information and thus create a protist that will be released upon the death of the parent.


How might gametes production in male bees differ from normal meiosis?

They do not go through meiosis.


What is a cell called that gets stuck in mitosis and continuously divides?

I might not understand your question correctly but here is a possible answer.. A cell can get stuck in mitosis through various reasons. one of them is through inhibition of cyclin dependent kinases or perhaps due to unsatisfied spindle pole checkpoints. The cells that get stuck in mitosis this way will simply not progress further and will not divide. A big chance is that a lot of these cells will go into apoptosis when stuck in this phase for too long. you could check if your cells are stuck in mitosis by measuring the DNA contents with a FACS machine, an increased population with n=2 (or higher) probably reflects a defect in the dividing stage of the cells.
