No, human cells can reproduce almost indefinitely in cell culture. Biologists have been doing this for decades with HeLa cells.

A company grows human skin for replacing skin burned away on burn victims. Stem cells are replicated for research purposes. They have been used in attempts to treat diseases. In the future, many will probably be used in bone marrow transplants.

Is it true that human cells are incapable of reproduction outside the body?

Human cells can reproduce outside the body under certain laboratory conditions. This is often done in controlled settings for research purposes or in vitro fertilization. However, human cells generally cannot survive or function for extended periods outside the body without the proper environment and nutrients.


In the human anatomy, eggs and Sperm are a form of which of the followingA.Asexual reproduction B.Sexual reproduction C.GametesD.Somatic cells?

The answer is C. Gametes


What are facts about human cells?

human cells are eukaryotic. Human cells are constantly regenerating.Cell Count in a human body is anywhere between 50-100 trillion. Anti oxidants help to keep human cells healthy. Cells in the brain and nervous system do not Reproduce. Not all brain cells are neurons.


What is the purpose of having cells grow in a Petra dish or outside the human body?

They want to see what the cells would do so they can know if they more cells or not from the lacks family. So that why the the cells woulds be on the petri dish or outside the human body.


A human skin cell divides is in sexual or asexual reproduction?

A human skin cell undergoes mitosis, a form of asexual reproduction where the cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. In sexual reproduction, two different types of cells (sperm and egg) combine to form a new individual with a unique combination of genetic material.


Is a human egg cell eukaryotic?

Yes, a human egg cell is eukaryotic. Eukaryotic cells, including human egg cells, have a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, distinguishing them from prokaryotic cells. The egg cell is one of the largest cells in the human body and plays a crucial role in reproduction.


What is the dimension outside the observed range for human cells?

10 micrometers


Can human cells live outside the body?

Yes, they can if they have a proper environment.


How would you distinguish human mitotic cells from human meiotic cells?

Human mitotic cells undergo cell division to produce two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In contrast, human meiotic cells undergo two rounds of cell division to produce four haploid daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiotic cells are involved in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells) for sexual reproduction, while mitotic cells are involved in growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.


Can human body cells reproduce asexually?

No, human body cells cannot reproduce asexually. They reproduce through a process called mitosis, where a cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This is a form of asexual reproduction, but it is not considered reproduction in the same sense as in single-celled organisms.


What general term would describe the type of cells undergoing mitosis in a human?

Somatic cells would be the general term describing the type of cells undergoing mitosis in a human. These are the any cells in the body that are not specialized for reproduction and undergo mitosis for growth, repair, and maintenance.


Is there a cell in the human body that can't divide?

Permanent cells are incapable of dividing. Examples of these cells include neurons of the brain. Sperm and ovum cells or gametes are actually reproductive cells that do divide by meiosis to reach a haploid number of chromosomes; they cannot be considered somatic (body) cells.
