What else can I help you with?
How red blood cells survive without nucleus?
becas their life span is less
How can you stop being afraid of mice?
you need to hold the a mouse and be around a mouse. the more time you spend with them the less afraid you will be
What are animal eye rods used for?
There are two types of photoreceptors in the retina, cone cells and rod cells. There are 92 million rod cells in a retina. Rod cells function in less intense light and are important for peripheral vision and night vision.
What cells in the retina are primarily responsible for night vision as opposed to day vision?
Rod cells are primarily responsible for night vision, as they are more sensitive to low light levels and can detect dim light. Cone cells, on the other hand, are responsible for day vision and are less sensitive to light but can detect color and high levels of light.
Does hamsters really sleep for a long time?
Yes, hamsters are crepuscular creatures, meaning they are more active during dawn and dusk. However, they do spend a significant amount of time sleeping during the day and night, with an average sleep time of around 14-16 hours per day.
Where are rapidly reproduced cell found?
The reason why cancer cells reproduce more rapidly other then regular cells is because they spend less time in interphase.
Why do cells spend the greatest percentage of their cycle in interphase?
about 90% of the cells life is spent in interphase as this is the stage where the cells DNA and organelles are all doubled and reproduced before it goes through the other 10% of phases where the cell divides into two new identical cells
In which phase does a cell spend less time in?
I believe this question is leaning towards the topic of Mitosis. Between each cycle of mitosis, the cells does all its cellular business during "Interphase" which is a way longer phase than Mitosis
Explain why a karyotype cannot be made from cells that are in interphase?
A karyotype cannot be made from cells in interphase because, during this phase, chromosomes are not condensed and are instead in a less visible, extended form called chromatin. Karyotyping requires well-defined, condensed chromosomes that are easily distinguishable under a microscope, which typically occurs during metaphase of cell division. Interphase cells lack this organization, making it impossible to accurately identify and count individual chromosomes.
Are chromosomes condensed during interphase?
No, chromosomes are not condensed during interphase. They are in a less condensed form and are actively involved in processes such as DNA replication and gene expression.
In what type of cell is interphase NOT the longest part of the cell cycle?
In cancer cells, interphase is not the longest part of the cell cycle. This is because cancer cells can progress rapidly through the cell cycle, spending less time in interphase compared to normal cells.
What happens to chromatin during interphase?
During interphase, chromatin exists in a less condensed form, allowing for gene expression and DNA replication. It is loosely organized in the nucleus, ready to be transcribed into RNA for protein synthesis. This less condensed form of chromatin helps facilitate various cellular processes that occur during interphase.
Why are chromosomes not visible during interphase?
During interphase, chromosomes are not visible because they are in a less condensed form called chromatin. Chromatin is spread out and not easily distinguishable as individual chromosomes under a microscope.
Can chromosomes be seen only during cell division?
No, chromosomes can also be seen in non-dividing cells during interphase under a microscope. In interphase, chromosomes are less condensed and appear as long, thin, thread-like structures within the nucleus. During cell division, chromosomes condense further to become more visible as distinct structures.
Why are karyotypes prepared using cells in mitosis rather than cells in interphase explain.?
in mitosis (specifically Prophase) the chromosomes are dense and therefore visible for a karyotype. during interphase they do not have to be ready to be pulled apart so they are not wound tightly.
Why do cells spend the most time in interphase?
Not all cells divide at the same rate, but that difference is only in the length of the interphase which can vary by up to years for some tissues. It is just that prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase are much less variable as the process has to complete (not stable stuck in the middle of dividing, see Larson).
Why are individual chromosomes more difficult to see during inter phase than during mitosis?
The individual chromosomes cannot be seen in interphase because they haven't been condensed yet. That's what happens during mitosis so that it is easier to seperate them into new daughter cells. While in interphase, its called chromatin.
