Questions/Answers
cell division?
When you put a piece of plant tissue, such as leaf, in glucose. it can capable of cell division and grow to a new plant. But leaf isn't really a part that is active in cell division, right? Also, isn't the part which actviate in cell division is in shoot tip and root tip?
plants are capable of differentiation or potency which most animal cells are not. this is the ability to regenerate a clone from any type of plant cell. in animals, only stem cells have this capability. putting some leaf cells in glucose shouldn't normally produce an entire new plant (though some plants like kalanchoe(christmas or easter plant) readily reproduce by dropping small leaf segments. It is primarily dependent u[pon the type of plant, its mode of asexual reproduction that would produce these kinds of results. Normally the most active region of the plant would be in its root tips.
What is one of the differencesbetween cell division in plantcells and cell division inanimal cells?
What is one of the differences between cell division in plant cells and cell division in animal cells? A) Plant cells do not use a mitotic spindle to separate chromosomes. B) Plant cells separate chromosomes by attachment to the plasma membrane. C) In a plant cell, there is no nucleus around the chromosomes. D) There is no DNA replication before cell division in plant cells. E) Plant cells separate by growth of a cell wall and membrane in the middle of the cell.
E is the correct answers. After the last phase of mitosis, animal cells undergo cytokinesis - a pinching of the cytoplasm and cell membrane into two separate entities. However, plant cells simply grow a new wall in the middle of the cell once chromosomes and organelles have separated from the metaphase plate.
How do blood cells undergocell division to make moreblood cells as they mature?
Blood cells loose their nucleus (contains DNA for cell division) as they mature. How do they undergo cell division to make more?
Blood cells do not have nuclei and cannot undergo meiosis. RBC's are also unique due to their shape, allowing for maximum surface area for an increased ability to carry and deliver oxygen. Blood cell production is known as erythropoeisis, a series of stages where a pluripotent stem cell transforms into a colony forming-unit (CFU), to an erythroblast, reticulocyte and finally an erythrocyte (red blood cell). Production of more RBC's is dependent upon a number of factors. For example if one becomes hypoxic (low o2 sat), the liver and kidneys secrete the hormone, erythropoietin (EPO) to stimulate red bone marrow which accelerates erythropoiesis and increases red blood cell count and results in increased O2 transport by the RBCs.
