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).
44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes are present in human somatic cells .
Another name for body cells is somatic cells.
Somatic cells undergo mitosis.
After mitosis, each somatic cell will produce two identical daughter cells. Therefore, if an organism has 24 somatic cells before mitosis, there will be a total of 48 somatic cells after mitosis.
Yes, a liver cell is a type of somatic cell. Somatic cells are any cell in the body that is not a sperm or egg cell. Liver cells are an example of somatic cells because they make up the majority of the cells in the liver and are responsible for the organ's function.
There both sex cells
44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes are present in human somatic cells .
Somatic cell.
Another name for body cells is somatic cells.
somatic cell
there are 23 pairs of matching chromosomes 46 chromosomes altogether.
Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.
No, telomerase is typically not active in somatic cells.
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
Autosomes are the chromosomes found in somatic cells that are perfectly matched in males and females. These chromosomes are responsible for determining non-sex traits in an individual. Both males and females have two copies of each autosome, one from each parent, making them perfectly matched.
If you're not referring to the term somatic cells, I suppose they could also be known as animal cells - at least in most animals.
Somatic cells undergo mitosis.
