The Organisation of Cells As seen on the last page, in complex multicellular organisms eukaryotic cells become specialised for specific functions. For example: Epithelial cells in the small intesti...
Specialised Cells In complex multicellular organisms, eukaryotic cells become specialised for specific functions These specialised eukaryotic cells have specific adaptations to help them carry out ...
Significance of Meiosis Having genetically different offspring can be advantageous for natural selection Meiosis has several mechanisms that increase the genetic diversity of gametes produced Both ...
Stages of Meiosis Meiosis is a form of nuclear division that results in the production of haploid cells from diploid cells It produces gametes in plants and animals that are used in sexual reproduc...
Significance of Mitosis Mitosis is the process of nuclear division by which two genetically identical daughter nuclei are produced that are also genetically identical to the parent nucleus The proc...
Identifying Mitosis in Plant Cells Growth in plants occurs in specific regions called meristems The root tip meristem can be used to study mitosis The root tip meristem can be found just behind the...
Stages of Mitosis Mitosis is the process of nuclear division by which two genetically identical daughter nuclei are produced that are also genetically identical to the parent cell nucleus (they hav...
The Cell Cycle Mitosis is part of a precisely controlled process known as the cell cycle The cell cycle is the regulated sequence of events that occurs between one cell division and the next The ce...
