  • The cell theory states that cells are the basic units of all living things
  • nucleus is located near the center of a cell. It is the control center of the cell and it contains the genetic material
  • The cell theory states that all living organisms are composed of cells
  • The cell membrane, which is a thin coat of lipids that encloses the cell
  • The cell membrane serves as the boundary between the inside of the cell and the outside environment
  • The cell theory states that new cells are produced from pre-existing cells

  • The nucleus that is surrounded by a double-layered membrane called the nuclear membrane or nuclear envelope
  • Reproduction refers to the process by which new organisms are produced from a parent organism
  • Diploid is a type of cell that contains the total genetic materials present in the species
  • Haploid is a type of cell that contains half of the total genetic materials present in the species
