Biology

• The nucleus is the control centre of the cell, containing DNA.
• Chromosomes are made up of genes that contain instructions on how to make proteins.
• Protein synthesis involves transcription (copying) and translation (reading).
• Chromosomes are made up of genes that determine characteristics such as eye colour and height.
• Mitochondria produce energy through aerobic respiration.
• Proteins carry out most functions within cells.
• Vacuoles store water and nutrients.
• Genes code for specific traits or characteristics.
• DNA contains genetic information passed down from parents to offspring through gametes.
