Which process for an organism to increase the number of body cells during development?

Mitosis.


How do organisms grow?

Organisms grow through cell division, where existing cells replicate and increase in number. This process is controlled by genetic instructions that determine when and how cells should divide, leading to overall growth in size and development of new tissues. Additional factors such as nutrition, hormones, and environmental conditions also play a role in regulating growth.


Will cells change in number but never differentiate?

Cells can divide to increase in number without undergoing differentiation. This process is known as cell proliferation. However, for cells to differentiate into specialized cell types, they go through a process of gene expression changes and morphological modifications.


How do cells divide to increase their numbers?

Cells divide through a process called mitosis, where the cell duplicates its DNA and then splits into two separate daughter cells. This process allows the cell population to increase in number, providing growth and repair for the organism. Mitosis is a tightly regulated process that ensures accurate division of the genetic material to maintain the integrity of the newly formed cells.


Is leukemia an increase or decrease of white blood cells?

Leukemia is an increase in the number of abnormal white blood cells in the bloodstream. These abnormal cells do not function properly and can crowd out normal white blood cells, leading to a weakened immune system.

What is the similarities between onion cells and tapeworm egg cells in the process of cell division?

both undergo mitosis as they try to increase the number of cells of same kind.


What is the difference between hyperplasia and hypertrophy?

Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue, leading to its enlargement, whereas hypertrophy is an increase in the size of existing cells in an organ or tissue. Both processes contribute to the growth of tissues, but through different mechanisms.


Increase in size or number of cells?

Cell proliferation is the process of cell growth and division, leading to an increase in the size or number of cells in a tissue or organ. This can occur through mitosis (cell division) or hypertrophy (increase in cell size).

Is it true that you grow because your cells do?

Yes, growth occurs when cells divide and increase in number, leading to an increase in overall size of the organism. This process is controlled by a combination of genetics, hormones, and environmental factors.


Is a general increase in the bulk of a body part due to an increase in the size but not in the number of cells?

Hypertrophy


When the cells of an organism increase in number size or volume this is called?

This process is called growth. Growth can involve an increase in cell number (cell proliferation), cell size, or overall volume of the organism.
