    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.
