A weird question : How many cells do you suppose is in your body right now?
@EclipsedStar @likeabossssssss
Hi weird question lol
It can't really be counted...since everyone's count is different xD However: "If scientists can’t count all the cells in a human body, how can they estimate it? The mean weight of a cell is 1 nanogram. For an adult man weighing 70 kilograms, simple arithmetic would lead us to conclude that that man has 70 trillion cells." http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2013/10/23/how-many-cells-are-in-your-body/
I know just wondering if you could make a guess for yuor age thank you though ;)
I guess it depends on weight, not age. x'D
It's actually not all that easy to answer that simple question. But recently, scientists have made a pretty good effort. And their final count is…37.2 trillion. Calculating the number of cells in the human body is tricky scource : http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/there-are-372-trillion-cells-in-your-body-4941473/
yah i guess
And their final count is…37.2 trillion. Calculating the number of cells in the human body is tricky. Part of the problem is that using different metrics gets you very different outcomes. Guessing based on volume gets you an estimate of 15 trillion cells; estimate by weight and you end up with 70 trillion http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/there-are-372-trillion-cells-in-your-body-4941473/
Hmm...if they took the average, I suppose that would work out but the number of cells I have and a 1 month old baby would be different
lol that is what I put allready
yah well thanks this was just for fun to ask I do thought have a question on something else
At what phase of mitosis does the number of chromosomes double?
You mean when they're replicated?
During what process in the cell cycle does one cell become two cells? I think this one is cytokinesis
yah double is what this sheet says
During S phase, which follows G1 phase, all of the chromosomes are replicated. Following replication, each chromosome now consists of two sister chromatids (see figure below). Thus, the amount of DNA in the cell has effectively doubled, even though the ploidy, or chromosome count, of the cell remains at 2n http://cyberbridge.mcb.harvard.edu/mitosis_4.html
idk if that helps your not
Google person ^ LOL
I think the first question might be the interphase, that helps ;)
yep star lol
I'm not sure though because mitosis is mitosis but the chromosones double in tnerphase
interphase is a sompletly different phase that happens before mitosis
Well, it's because of the sister chromatids that make it confusing since they're similar
so when the sister chromads duplicate when do they ?
You mean when do they do so...?
yes
Well, the chromatids are actually located inside of the two separated chromosomes themselves, so it's simultaneously on the S phase
ok thanks I gtg now Ill medal you
I don't usually help out in Bio so this is tricky xD
ok
Thanks!
ok bye
Cya!
have a good day :)
you too! I found the right answer the Anaphase
nice
