Answer 1

Chromosomes contain genetic infomation

Question 2

Question 3

Answer 3

Meiosis is cell division which gives rise to the gametes.
It takes place only in the reproductaba organs of animals and plants. In humans this is in the ovaries and testes. The gametes will have only half the number of chromosomes.

What do cells need to absorb in a short supply

Answer 9

Cells need to absorb substances which are in short supply

Question 10

What do cells use active transport for?

Answer 10

Cells use active transport to transport substances across partially permeable membranes agains the concerntration gradient (ie low to high) using a carrier protein and energy from resperation
