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.
