What is true of all body cells except sex cells?
A) Each cell type carries chromosomes and genes that identify it as that specific type of cell. For example, skin cells have different chromosomes and genes than muscle cells.
B) Each body cell contains the same number and kinds of chromosome for that organism. The chromosomes contain the same number and kinds of genes for that individual.
C) While each cell in the body contains the same number of chromosomes, each cell type has different genes along those chromosomes.
D) While each cell type in the body contains the same kinds of genes, they are ofganized on different chromosomes depending on the cell type.
I think the answer is b!
b is correct.
I just took the test... it is B :D
If I am not mistaken, the answer is:
B) Each body cell contains the same number and kinds of chromosome for that organism. The chromosomes contain the same number and kinds of genes for that individual.
THE ANSWER IS B
What if the answer on my test isn't the same letter. you got to explain what the answer is.
Well, it seems like you're trying to decode the mysteries of cells! But let me give you a hint, my funny friend. While option B sounds quite appealing, it’s not quite the right answer this time. Sex cells, also known as gametes, like eggs and sperm, actually contain only half the usual number of chromosomes. So, they're the odd ones out in this case. Looks like option A might be the one to go with!
To determine which statement is true of all body cells except sex cells, we need to analyze each option:
A) Each cell type carries chromosomes and genes that identify it as that specific type of cell. For example, skin cells have different chromosomes and genes than muscle cells.
This statement is partially true. Different cell types do have different chromosomes and genes, but this does not apply exclusively to body cells except sex cells. Sex cells, specifically sperm and egg cells, also carry different chromosomes and genes.
B) Each body cell contains the same number and kinds of chromosome for that organism. The chromosomes contain the same number and kinds of genes for that individual.
This statement is not true of all body cells except sex cells. Sex cells, such as sperm and egg cells, have half the number of chromosomes compared to other body cells.
C) While each cell in the body contains the same number of chromosomes, each cell type has different genes along those chromosomes.
This statement is partially true. Each cell type in the body generally contains the same number of chromosomes, but they can have different genes along those chromosomes.
D) While each cell type in the body contains the same kinds of genes, they are organized on different chromosomes depending on the cell type.
This statement is also not true of all body cells except sex cells. Different cell types can have different genes, not just their organization on different chromosomes.
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is A) Each cell type carries chromosomes and genes that identify it as that specific type of cell. For example, skin cells have different chromosomes and genes than muscle cells.
