background knowledge relating to the current cell theory‚ the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes‚ and the structures and functions found within cells. Once this knowledge is known‚ a person is then able to give their opinion in the debate. In the 1800s‚ the cell theory was developed. This theory states that cells are found in all living things making them the basic units of life and that all cells come from other cells. In order to be classified as a cell‚ the object in question must be able

Weismann‚ who noted that two cell divisions were necessary to transform one diploid cell into four haploid cells if the number of chromosomes had to be maintained. In 1911 the American geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan observed crossover in Drosophila melanogaster meiosis and provided the first genetic evidence that genes are transmitted on chromosomes. The term meiosis was introduced to biology by J.B. Farmer and J.E.S. Moore in 1905 Meiosis i/maɪˈoʊsɨs/ is a special type of cell division necessary for

CELL THEORY – STEM CELLS Stem cells are a large focus of study in today’s biomedical world. “They are cells that exist in an undifferentiated state‚ and transform into differing tissue types depending on what the cells surrounding them are‚“ (National Institute of Health‚ 2012). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition‚ they also serve as an internal repair mechanism inside many tissues‚ dividing without

History of Cell Theory As we all probably know today‚ every single living being is made up by cells the building blocks of life. As much as we would like to take this fact for granted‚ we cannot help but acknowledge and remember the works and discoveries of earlier scientists which all contributed to our today’s understanding of the cell theory. The cell theory being; all living things are composed of one or more cells‚ cells are organisms’ basic units of structure and function‚ and cells only come

of Technology on Cell Theory Technology has had a profound impact on the development of cell theory‚ allowing scientists to view the components of organisms on an unprecedentedly small scale. Before the creation of microscopes‚ misconceptions about how organisms were originated arose. The idea of spontaneous generation‚ a theory held for nearly two millennia‚ proposed that organisms originated from inorganic matter. The lack of technology impeded on the development of cell theory‚ until the creation

development of the microscope on the development of cell theory. Over a period of nearly 400 years‚ technology has impacted so significantly on humanities understanding of life. This is due to the development of the microscope‚ examining the invisible‚ discovering the building blocks of life‚ and the creation of the cell theory. This theory is so fundamental to our current knowledge of the functioning of living organisms. The development of cell theory is closely linked to the improvements of the microscope

Chapter 2 IB Biology 2.1 Cell Theory 2.1.1 Outline the cell theory (2). • All organisms are composed of one or more cells • Cells are the smallest units of life • All cells come from preexisting cells • TOK: cell theory replaces the former ideas of spontaneous generation or abiogenesis in which inanimate matter assembles itself into living forms • Exception: muscle cells- more than 1 nucleus‚ very long; (fungal cells) hyphae roots- not a single unit; protoctista- not specialized to single

Cell Theory - Biology Speech on Cell Theory. Cells are the "building blocks" of the body. A human is made of millions of cells‚ which are adapted for different functions. They are composed mainly of a cell membrane‚ cytoplasm‚ vacuole(s) and a nucleus. They are the foundations of all living organisms‚ making them probably cells extremely significant when it comes to biology. They are one of the foundations of biology itself. The Cell Theory is a theory that has been composed‚ changed and altered
