DEFINITIONS Gametes are mature haploid reproductive cells that unite to form a zygote that develops into a new individual. Gametes are also called sex cells. An egg or ovum is a haploid female reproductive cell or gamete whereas a sperm is a male haploid reproductive cell. A zygote is the initial cell that is formed as a result of the union of a male and a female gamete by means of sexual reproduction. The two haploid cells merge to give rise to a diploid cell which marks the first stage of development.

"Cells‚ Cells" Original Rap by Ms. Quitmeyer Today’s the day were gonna learn about the cell If I teach it okay‚ you’ll know it very well So listen up 6th graders- -no room left for haters- lets talk about the building blocks of life- cells that make us. Chorus: Cells‚ cells they’re made of organelles Try to pull a fast one‚ the cytoplasm gels The nucleus takes over controllin’ everything The party don’t stop ’till the membrane blocks the scene Inside the vacuole we can float around

having sickle cell anemia can make a person more resistant to contracting malaria If it had not been for Anthony Allison‚ the world as we know it today would drastically change. Like the video stated‚ many people with the sickle cell anemia would meet “death before adulthood”. Areas with high frequencies of anopheles mosquito and sickle cell anemia would correlate but nobody would understand why. I admire Allison for not only having the burning inquiry to determine why the sickle cell anemia character

Evolution of Eukaryotic Cells from Prokaryotic Cells DNA- Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)‚ a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms‚ is the acid that carries genetic information. RNA- Ribonucleic acid (RNA)‚ is an acid that is present in all living cells‚ it’s main role is to act as messenger and carry instructions from DNA fro controlling the synthesis of proteins. What are Eukaryotic Cells and Eukaryotic Organisms? A eukaryotic cell is a cell that contains complex

Cell Size Control David A Guertin‚ Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research‚ Cambridge‚ Massachusetts‚ USA David M Sabatini‚ Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research‚ Cambridge‚ Massachusetts‚ USA Growth in biological systems is defined as the accumulation of mass‚ which leads to an increase in size. In this article‚ we discuss how cells‚ organs‚ and organisms normally control growth‚ and how deregulated growth can lead to a variety of pathological conditions. Introductory article Article

with a history of the autosomal recessive disease Sickle cell anaemia should have all embryos screened with Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis technology (PGD). If tested positive‚ treatment should be made compulsory for the child at a young age and will be treated with stem cell gene therapy. This disease has no personal relevance to me‚ however‚ there is currently 90K people suffering from Sickle cell anaemia in the United States. Sickle cell anaemia is relevant to society because it greatly reduces

The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and

an animal cell? According to softschool website an animal cell is a cell that can dominates most of the tissue cells in animal’s cells. An Animal cells are very different looking from plant cells because they don’t have cell walls. Most animal cells have about 3 main parts and they are cytoplasm‚ cell membrane‚ and nucleus. (www.softschools.com/science) Cell membrane- “The function of the cell membrane is to surround the cytoplasm of any living cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane
