CELL NOTES PART III
Prokaryotic cells have circular DNA Eukaryotic cells have linear DNA DNA - HEREDITARY MATERIAL
Chromosomes – a structure in a cell’s nucleus that contains hereditary material. WHAT ARE CHROMOSOMES?
CELL FACT MOST CELLS CANNOT SURVIVE ON THEIR OWN… HOWEVER… SOME CAN!
Definition: the production of two IDENTICAL cells 1 diploid cell = 2 diploid cells These are the cells your body is made out of. MITOSIS
These cells have complete DNA DIPLOID CELLS
Definition: the production of sex cells 1 diploid cell creates 4 haploid cells Haploid cells are your reproductive cells Sperm and Egg MEIOSIS
These cells have ½ of the DNA HAPLOID CELLS
