What else can I help you with?
Where are somatic cell found?
any cell other that a germ cell, in a plant or animal
What cells carry out mitosis?
Somatic cells, which are any cell in the body other than germ cells (sperm and egg cells), carry out mitosis. Mitosis is the process by which somatic cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
If a cell has 25 chromosomes is it a somatic cell or a diploid cell?
you cannot say if a cell is somatic or germ cell by seeing the number of chromosomes present in it. If a cell has one pair of each chromosome then it is reffered to as diploid. haploid is represented by 'n' whereas Diploid-2n Triploid-3n and so on. A somatic cell is the cell which is present in your body. A germ cell is the cell present in your Gonads(gonads are reproductive organs) such as testis and ovaries.they have the x and y chromosomes. so if a cell has 25 chromosomes, it might be a somatic or germ cell. it's ploidy can be haploid or diploid. this can be known only by obtaining a karyotype. a karyotype is the diagramatic representation of the chromosomes by detailed analysis. if this cell is diploid, it means that it is missing one of its chromosome. because diploid is 2n.
Can germ cells be involved in mitosis?
No, germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells), not mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces genetically identical daughter cells for growth and repair in somatic cells.
Would a skin cell mutation on your hand affect your offspring?
No, a mutation in a skin cell on your hand would not affect your offspring because mutations in somatic cells (like skin cells) are not passed on to the next generation. Offspring inherit genetic information from germ cells (sperm and egg cells) which are not affected by mutations in somatic cells.
Do gametes come from germ cells of somatic cells?
somatic cell
Is the difference between germ line and somatic mutations?
A mutation occurring in a germ cell is heritable 50% of the time. Somatic cell mutations only affect the individual cell and its progeny produced by mitosis. Somatic cell mutations cannot be passed on to the organism's offspring.

What is the difference between somatic and germ line mutations?
A mutation occurring in a germ cell is heritable 50% of the time. Somatic cell mutations only affect the individual cell and its progeny produced by mitosis. Somatic cell mutations cannot be passed on to the organism's offspring.
What cell type is diploid sex cell or ovum or gamete or somatic cell?
The diploid cell type is the somatic cell. Gametes, such as ovum, are haploid cells that are produced by the process of meiosis from diploid germ cells.
How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?
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.
What is Germ line mutation to somatic mutation?
germ line muttations are muttations that are hereditable, meaning it is passed on to offspring, and must be in a reproductive cell, such as a human sperm cell. somatic muttations are muttations that are not hereditable. this occors in non reproductive cells, such as an apple seed. hope this helped
How mutations can affect organisms?
It depends on if it is in the germ line or in a somatic Cell. In the germ line a mutation can cause birth defects or lethal mutations. In somatic Cells it can cause cancer. The Genetic Mutation will have either of these effects: either beneficial or detrimental.
What is another word for sperm?
gamete cell (eggs are gametes too)germ cells (so are egg cells)"little swimmers"seedsemen (actually semen contains sperm)
