  • A Cells is surrounded by cell wall – allows substances to move in and out the cell.
  • A Cells – filled with jelly-like substance - cytoplasm – contains everything the cell needs to stay alive
  • At centre of the cells
    – nucleus – provides all the instructions the cell needs to do it task properly.
  • The detailed instructions – contained in complicated string of chemical – chromosomes.
  • Except egg cells and sperm cells – all cells contain 46 chromosomes.
  • Egg and sperm cells – contain 26 chromosomes.
  • Chromosomes – made of a complicated chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
  • DNA – like spiral ladder – made of small unit called genes.
  • Genes
    carry the genetic information that determines exactly what we look like.
