    Study Notes

    Sense Organs

    • Ears detect sound and enable hearing.
    • Eyes detect light and enable vision.
    • Skin is responsible for detecting touch, pressure, and temperature.
    • Nose and tongue detect chemical signals, facilitating taste and smell.

    Cellular Structures and Genetics

    • Chromosomes contain genetic material and are crucial for passing on hereditary traits.
    • Chromatin is the thread-like structure made of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.

    Cell Cycle

    • DNA replication occurs during the synthesis (S) phase of the cell cycle to prepare chromosomes for cell division.

    Meiosis Process

    • Homologous chromosomes undergo pairing and exchange of genetic information through a process called crossing over during meiosis.
