Before we move on
Its important to remember that this is
an introduction to chromosomes and
DNA. We will be looking at the way
most Plant and Animal cells
reproduce but there are more types
of life out there, and copying their
cells doesnt always work the same!

Before we move on
Youll notice that all of the cells
mentioned previously were human
body cells
However, ALL organisms are made of
cells. All organisms have BODY CELLS.
Only organisms that sexually
reproduce have SEX CELLS.

Why Mitosis?
To quickly
replace old and
dying cells.
Why Meiosis?
To mix the
genes of two
parents, giving
the best of both
to the offspring.
