explain the difference between the number of chromosomes between a frog somatic cell and a frog egg cell

Biology

A somatic cell is a cell that is any of the 22 chromosome pairs that aren’t reproductive cells. So, these cells would have the full 26 chromosomes that a frog usually has.

However, since an egg cell is a reproductive cell and needs to combine with another reproductive cell to create one whole combined cell and organism, it would only have 13 chromosomes. The egg cell is like half of a somatic cell, so it will have half of however many the somatic cell will have.

What is the difference between a GMO and cloning
viktelen [127]

Answer:

A GMO Genetically Modified Product though similar to cloning is quite different. Cloning is the process of using egg cells from an individual to produce a new organism. When the baby is born, it is genetically identical to the parent, an exact copy. This process occurs in a lab. Genetic Engineering, which is used to make GMOs,  uses technology to alter or change an organism's genes. New genetic information can be added to or removed from an existing set of DNA.

<em>So I would say that some of the differences between GMOs and cloning include that:</em>

Cloning strives to create exact copies of an organism's parent while GMOs remove and add different genes to form desired offsprings like making a product last longer or making the product grow larger faster.

Hopefully, this helped you! Have a nice day :)
