MTOC (Microtubeles organizing centre) is the one which takes care of oroducing Microtubules. these micryubulrs extend and gets attached to the kinetochore region of chromosome and they move the chromosome either by adding more of the alpha tubulin or removing to lengthen or shorten the microtubules. figure 5 and 6 are the real deal for giving you more insights on this.

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).

Is it true that your somatic cells have chromosomes just like the ones in your dad's sperm and your mom's egg, but that those chromosomes are not so similar to the chromosomes that your dad had in his somatic cells? How can this be explained?

Somatic cells will be in diploid condition and Germ Cells will be in Haploid condition. So, Somatic cells cannot have chromosomes like those in the sperm or egg cell.

How are the functions of the cytoskeleton and the cell wall similar?

The function of the is to hold the organelles of a cell in place. It provides support to the cell. A cell wall protects and holds the cell. It makes...

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,...

What is the role of the cytoskeleton in cell movement?

The cytoskeleton is made up of 3 protein filaments: actin filaments (also known as microfilaments), intermediate filaments and microtubules. The microtubules facilitate movement of vesicles between compartments. By axonal...

There are two different forms of cell division- mitosis and meiosis. Why do we need two forms? Do all cells use both forms? Why do you think that this is true? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each form of cell division?

We need two types of cells divisions for different purposes. takes place in Somatic Cells and occur in Germ Cells. Mitosis helps in repairing and replacing old,...

Describe the cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm. Which of these structures are you likely to find in a prokaryotic cell, Eukaryotic cell, plant cell or animal cell?

Basic Definitions: = the semi-permeable structure that surrounds the cell and keeps all of the cells organelles from exploding everywhere. Cell Wall = the rigid 'armor' of the...

The platypus has five pairs of sex chromosomes and 21 pairs of autosomes. When a platypus cell undergoes meiosis, how many chromosomes will the daughter cells have?

Platypus is an exceptional mammal to have so many number of sex chromosomes, i.e. 10 in each individual. Sex of the progeny is determined by the sperm as it may...

A sperm cell of an alligator has 16 chromosomes.what is the total number of chromosomes normally present in a stomach cell of this alligator? A)8 B)16 C)32 D)48

Basically, a germ cell (sperm or egg cell) is $n$. Now, the stomach cell, which is a somatic cell, is $2n$. If you substitute $2(16)=32$ Germ cells have gametes while...
