Numbers of cells
Cells are the building blocks of all life. Unlike simple bacteria and other unicellular organisms,
living organisms contain from many millions to billions of cells. Cells can have a very wide
range of f___________ in the human body from skin cells, blood cells, muscle cells to nerve
cells. Cells can only be viewed using a light microscope. Robert Hook was the first scientist to

Cell organelles, like mitochondria and chloroplasts carry out important functions in plant and
animal cells. The n_________ controls the activity of the cell by building new proteins including
enzymes. It also contains DNA, the material of inheritance and is able to divide and produce new

cells that work together to support life and produce food in green plants. A root hair cell, for
example is long and extremely thin to aid the uptake of w_______ and dissolved minerals like

Cell size in plants and animals
Cells in plants and animals vary in size. To visualize plant or animal cells we need to use a
m___________. Animal cells on average, tend to be smaller and less regular in shape, when
compared to plant cells. Both plant and animal cells grow and divide before becoming too large.
Cells that are too large will have a reduced surface area to volume ratio. A small surface area to
volume ratio reduces the amount of o__________ and nutrients that can be absorbed across its
surface membrane. Cells must then divide or die. This is called mitosis.

Mitosis for replacing cells
New cells are needed for you to grow and repair. These are made by cell divisions
called mitosis. During mitosis, a cell d_________ and forms two identical clone cells.
The human body produces up to one billion cells like this every hour replacing old
worn out cells. New s______, muscle, blood, and nerve cells are all produced this
way. Some species reproduce using mitosis. Bacteria, for example multiply using
mitosis. What are the advantages of reproducing asexually ?

Mitosis Normal cell division
Mitosis occurs during growth and repair. Mitosis leads to formation of new identical
cells. Producing c______ or identical cells has several advantages. They behave just
like the old ones and they don’t require anything but the original cell. What other
advantages are there to producing identical clone cells ?

Each set of chromosomes separates moving to the cell poles before cell division. Stage four: The cell
divides, producing two clone cells each containing 23 pairs of chromosomes. In the shoots and tips of
plants new cells are formed during mitotic cell divisions. Each daughter cell is identical to the original cell.
This picture shows several cells in various stages of mitosis.

Meiosis gametes in humans
Meiosis leads to the formation of only two types of cells. Meiosis in males forms the
s______ and in females the o______ or egg cells. Meiosis halves the number of
chromosomes, so that when the sperm and egg fuse, the fertilised zygote will have the
correct number of chromosomes (23 chromosomal pairs). Meiosis also produces random
gene mixing leading to variation of human traits in new individuals.

Meiosis Reductive cell division
During meiosis, the number of chromosomes are halved so that the s______ and egg
carries 23 single chromosomes. During meiosis, paternal genes that code for your
characteristics randomly mix, so that we are all not the same. Name the cells in
plants that are produces by the process of meiosis ?

cell divides, producing two new cells each containing 23 pairs of chromosomes. Stage 4: The two daughter
cells divide again halving the number of chromosomes. Each gamete now contains only 23 single
chromosomes. A sperm cell carries 23 single chromosomes and fuses with an egg cell which also carries 23
single chromosomes to form a zygote, which now carries the normal diploid number of chromosomes.

Meiosis Determining sex by chromosomes
Your chromosomes also determine what sex you are at b_______. In humans there
are 23 pairs of chromosomes found in every cell. 22 pairs are identical, but pair 23 do
not match. Pair 23 are called the sex chromosomes. All eggs from the female contain
the X chromosome, sperm from the male contain either the X or Y chromosome. At
f_____________, the egg may join with either an X or Y sperm producing equal
numbers of males (XY) or females (XX). What are the gametes cells called in plants ?

Meiosis gametes in plants
Pollination is the transfer of pollen, the male sex cells from the a_________ of the stamen by
b____ or insects to the surface of the female c_________. Once the pollen sex cells have landed
on the female carpel, pollination has been achieved. Flowering plants contain both female and
male reproductive organs and can either self or cross pollinate. Following fertilisation, where the
ovule and pollen cell fuse, the seed begins to develop surrounded by the swollen ovule which
forms the f_______. It is the function of the fruit to disperse the seed. What is this organ’s role in
the plant life cycle ?

Meiosis Variation in humans one
Humans have many of their genes which are common to us all. Over 99% of our
genes in all the races are shared. Only 1% of human g_______ are unique and
different. These genes code for differences in the colour of skin, eyes, hair and other
features like the shape of our faces. Unless you’re an identical twin, your genes, your
traits and you are unique amongst the other 5.5 billion human beings found on this
planet. What are the advantages of variation in a species like humans ?
Variation in humans: Word bank: genes
Masai warrior Aborigine Arab Japanese Maori
Diagram
Notes Variation in humans (traits such as skin and eye colour) occur due to the random mixing of
DNA during meiosis ensuring that no egg or sperm carry exactly the same genes or DNA and of
course during fertilisation, when the genes from your mother and father mix to form you.
- Slide 16: Science Interactive LTD Copyright 2005
Meiosis Variation in humans two
Variation in the human race is caused by differences in your genes, caused by the
random m______ of DNA during the production of sperm and egg and of course
when the genes from your father and mother join during fertilisation. Your mother
and father both share exactly 50% of your DNA and are your closest biological
relatives. Brothers and sisters can share up to 50% of their DNA, but the figure is
usually only around 25%. Why do brothers and sisters look very similar to one
another ?
Word bank: mixing
Variation in humans: South American
African Europe (North) Asian Europe (south)
Diagram
Notes Look around you in class, we all have certain similarities, but we are all unique. We belong to
the same species, can reproduce with one another but are all different. Some people are taller
or heavier or have different colour hair, skin or eyes. This is called variation. This is because
we all have different genes in our cells from our parents.
