How can cells from the same organism have such different shapes and functions?

Biology
1 answer:
Savatey [412]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: As each cell differentiates, the <em>DNA </em>changes so that each type of cell has different <em>DNA</em> once it reaches maturity. Mutations in the cells’ nuclei lead to new combinations of <em>DNA</em>, resulting in different shapes and functions in the different types of cells.

Hope this helps!

Determine whether each statement describes mitosis, melosis, or both mitosis and melosis.
Kruka [31]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks statements, the statements and the answers are as follows:

occurs in organisms that sexually reproduce - MEIOSIS

occurs during growth and development - MITOSIS

the DNA is replicated - MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

occurs in all organisms - MITOSIS

the number of chromosomes remains the same - MITOSIS

the number of chromosomes reduces by half - MEIOSIS

Explanation:

Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cellular divisions that occur in living cells. Mitosis involves the formation of two (2) daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis involves the formation of four (4) daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell.

The following are characteristics of the two division processes based on this question:

MITOSIS:

- It occurs during growth and development of an organism.

- it involves DNA replication

- it occurs in all organisms since every living organism undergoes growth and development.

- the number of chromosomes after mitosis remains the same in the daughter cell i.e. 2n remains 2n

MEIOSIS:

- It occurs only in organisms that sexually reproduce.

- it also involves the replication of DNA

- The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half i.e. 2n to n.
