In which body system do the endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, vacuoles, golgi complex, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts and mitochondria have similar functions?
These organelles have different structures and functions since the cell is formed after a previous cell cycle. The cell wall, vacuole, and chloroplast are found in plant cells not human...

How many chromosomes are in a sperm cell from an animal whose somatic cells have 32 chromosomes (2n=32)? If 2n=32, how many chromosomes are in a haploid cell?
So in an animal with 32 (2n) chromosomes in somatic cell, number of chromosomes in sperm will be 16 (n).

Why does a cell need to maintain its shape? What happens if we take away the cytoskeleton from an animal cell or what happens if we take the cell wall from the plant cell?
The plant cell is far easier to answer. Plant cells, at least in the stem, rely on turgidity to remain straight. The central vacuole exerts pressure on the cell wall,...

Which kind of cell can divide by mitosis, a germ cell or a somatic cell? What kind can undergo meiosis?
Mitosis is for growth and repair. One cell becomes two daughter cells with each containing 46 chromosomes and retains the exact feature of that cell. Meiosis is for reproductive cells....

Sickle cell anemia is caused by a recessive allele. Roughly 1 out of every 500 african americans is afflicted with sickle cell anemia. How would you use the hardy weinberg equation to calculate the % of heterozygotes for sickle cell allele (.002=q^2)?
The Hardy-Weinberg equation is: $p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1" "$ and also $" "p+q=1$ where $p^2$ is the percentage of homozygous dominant phenotype where...
