Study Notes
Cell Division
- Daughter cells are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell during mitosis.
Meiosis Purpose
- The primary purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells) with unique combinations of genes, increasing genetic diversity.
DNA Location
- DNA is located in the nucleus of a cell.
Genes
- Genes are the basic units of heredity, carrying information from one generation to the next.
- They are segments of DNA that code for specific traits or functions.
Chromosome Composition
- Each chromosome consists of multiple genes, with the exact number varying between species.
