1.

What is a cell?

A cell is the smallest autonomous unit of life.

2.

What is the control centre of the cell?

The nucleus is the control centre of the cell.

3.

What is the cell cycle?

The cell cycle is the sequence of changes the cell undergoes between the moment it begins to form and when it divides.

4.

What is a chromatid?

A chromatid is one of two identical copies of a chromosome, united at the level of the centromere.

5.

What is a chromosome?

A chromosome is a condensed DNA molecule.

6.

How are chromosomes formed?

Chromosomes are formed when chromatin coils and condenses.

7.

What are chromatin units called?

Chromatin units are called nucleosomes.

8.

What is apoptosis?

Apoptosis is the programmed cell death; its function is to eliminate damaged or unnecessary cells.

9.

What are liposomes?

Liposomes are microscopic bags that serve as versatile vehicles that can transport through the skin, or after injection into the blood, drugs, DNA, etc.

10.

What is anaplasia?

Anaplasia is an anomaly of the structure of a cell marked by a loss of certain characteristics.

11.

What are extracellular materials?

Extracellular materials are substances that are outside the cells.

12.

What is an isotonic solution?

An isotonic solution is a solution that does not cause cellular gain or loss of water.

13.

What is a hypotonic solution?

A hypotonic solution is a solution that results in a net gain of water by the cell.

14.

What is a hypertonic solution?

A hypertonic solution is a solution in which, the cells undergo a net loss of water.
