Most cells in the body have a
nucleus.
The
nucleus
contains
genetic
material in the form of
chromosomes.
Chromosomes
are
coiled
up
lengths
of
DNA
molecules.
Each
chromosome
carries a long number of
genes.
Different genes control the
development
of different
characteristics.
e.g.
hair colour
Body cells normally have
two
copies of each
chromosome
- one from each
parent.
A human cell has
23 pairs
of chromosomes.
Body cells in
multicellular
organisms divide to produce
new cells
as part of a series of stages called the cell
cycle.
The stage go the
cell
cycle when the cell
divides
is called
mitosis.
Mulitcellular
organisms use
mitosis
to
grow
or
replace damaged
cells.
The
end
of the
cell
cycle results in
two
new cells
identical
to the
original
cell, with the
same
number of
chromosomes.
