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.
