CFLLULAR DIMENSIONS AND CELL VOLUME IN DIPLOID AND TRIPLOID SOFTSHELL CLAMS IIYA ARENARIA By Mark A SellersAn Abstract of the Theis Presented in PartialFulfillm nt of the Requirements for the Degree. Organisms that reproduce sexually have specialized cells called gametes (sex cells). Gametes are the result of a type of cell division called meiosis. Diploid and haploid. Almost all human cells are . Review. Organelles. Centrioles. Made of microtubules. Acts as anchors in cell division. Mitotic Spindle fibers. Two Main types. Kinetochore Fibers- Attach from centriole to centromere of chromosomes and assists in movement of chromosomes. Meiosis. Meiosis occurs in sexual reproduction when a diploid germ cell produces four haploid daughter cells that can mature to become gametes (sperm or egg).. Meiosis. .

Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902) – First to recognize leukemia in mid-1800s, believing that diseased tissue was caused by a breakdown within the cell and not from an invasion of foreign organisms.. Meiosis Terms . to Know:. Meiosis. : Cell division that produces gametes (sex cells/sperm & egg). These cells are used for sexual reproduction.

Replace old/damaged/dead cells. 2 Reasons – Surface area to volume ratio is an issue. What is the most important part of the cell that has to . Organisms that reproduce sexually are generally diploid: each cell contains two sets of chromosomes—a maternal chromosome set and a paternal chromosome set—one inherited from each parent. . .
