Eyepiece
What is the function of
Name the chemical which the genetic material is made from
A gene
2 similarities of Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells
Both contain cytoplasm
Both have DNA
Three differences of prokaryotic cell and the eukaryotic cells
Prokaryotic cells are smaller
The prokaryotic cell has no mitochondria
Prokaryotic cell has no nucleus
Stages of the cell cycle
Stage 1 is where sub cellular organelles duplicate and mitochondria increase in number
Stage 2 one set of chromosomes is pulled to each end of the cell
Stage 3 The cytoplasm and cell membrane divides to form two cells
Three differences of meiosis vs mitosis
One cell division in mitosis but two divisions in meiosis
Mitosis produces diploid cells but meiosis produces haploid cells
Mitosis produces genetically identical cells but meiosis produced genetically varied cells
Similarity of mitosis and meiosis
DNA doubles
