Somatic cells undergo mitosis and the resulting cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original. Sex cells undergo meiosis and the resulting cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Yes, that is true. Sex cells, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Somatic cells are diploid, with two sets of chromosomes inherited from both parents.
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
Somatic cells are not involved in sexual reproduction. These are most of the cells in your body. Gametes are sex cells (sperm and ovules/eggs).
The soma, from the Greek word meaning body, is the entire body - except the germ (sex) cells. This is related to the meanings of autosome and somatic because: Autosome refers to chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes. Somatic cells are all cells that are not sex cells (gametes/germ cells).
All the cells in your body that are not sex cells. Devoid of the complications here, sperm in males and eggs in females are the only cells in the adult human body that are NOT somatic cells.
Achrondoplasia is in all of the cells that have genes in them, not just the sex cells or somatic cells.
Hi, To start with, sex cells and somatic cells have totally different functions. Sex cells are used entirely for the use of reproduction and somatic cells are what makes up your body and helps you function. Sex cells have 23 chromosomes, and only one set of genetic information that incorporates traits of both you mum and dad. Somatic cells on the other hand have 46 chromosomes and have two sets of genetic information (one from your dad and one from your mum). When these cells divide, they also go through different systems. Sex cells go through meiosis, which is separated into eight steps and results into 4 different cells. Somatic cells go through mitosis which ends up in two daughter cells. Hope this helped.
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
Yes, that is true. Sex cells, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Somatic cells are diploid, with two sets of chromosomes inherited from both parents.
Yes, a hepatocyte is a somatic cell. All the cells in the body, except for sex cells (sperm and ovum/egg), are somatic cells.
Yes, somatic cells contain sex chromosomes. In humans, somatic cells typically contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, including one pair of sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males).
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
Somatic (body) cells. NOT sex cells.
if you mean asexual then that is a cell that does not need a partner to reproduce. This is usually a single celled organism that reproduces by having the cell split in two and form into two different cells
