Can whitefish embryo cells divide indefinitely?
no
Do all cell types divide limitless times?
No, because of the telomere shortening cells have a limited number of divisions. The exception is with cancer cells that divide indefinitely.
What enzyme is present in cancer cells which scientists believe allows the cancer cells to keep growing indefinitely?
The enzyme present in cancer cells that allows them to keep growing indefinitely is called telomerase. Telomerase helps maintain the length of the telomeres, which are the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes. By preventing telomeres from shortening with each cell division, telomerase enables cancer cells to keep dividing and growing uncontrollably.
What are synonyms of the word indefinitely?
1 sense of indefinitely Sense 1: indefinitely
What is indefinitely in Tagalog word?
The word "indefinitely" in Tagalog is "walang hanggan."
When culturing cells why do researchers prefer cancer cells over healthy cells extracted from an organism?
Cancer cells proliferate rapidly and can be grown indefinitely in culture, making them useful for long-term experiments. They also exhibit genetic alterations that mimic those seen in human cancers, providing insights into cancer biology and potential drug targets. Healthy cells are more difficult to maintain in culture and have a limited lifespan, making them less practical for long-term studies.
What is the process by which a regular cell begins to replicate indefinitely and becomes cancerous?
well the cells go through a interesting process that includes cell "reproduction"
Hela cells survive in a laboratory for how long?
Hela cells, which are a popular immortal human cell line in laboratories, can survive indefinitely under the right conditions. With regular maintenance and proper culture techniques, Hela cells can continue to grow and divide indefinitely.
What is immortal cell line?
An immortal cell line is a population of cells that are able to constantly replicate indefinitely or have a very high replicative capacity due to mutations that prevent normal cellular aging processes. These cell lines are commonly used in research and biotechnology for their ability to grow continuously in culture. Examples include HeLa cells and HEK 293 cells.
What is the definition of cytokinesis?
The word itself means cell division. It is the last step when a cell begins the process of diving into two cells.
What is High Diving?
It is diving on a high diving board.
Why are low head dams dangerous to small boats and water craft?
