1. The function of the nucleus is to store genetic material (DNA) and control the activities of the cell by regulating gene expression.
2. The macromolecule contained in the nucleus is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
3. The monomer of the DNA polymer is nucleotide.
4. The function of DNA is to carry and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next.
5. The process by which cells nucleus replicates is called DNA replication.
6. The process by which the cell replicates is called cell division, which occurs in two main stages: mitosis and cytokinesis.
7. The new cells are generally identical to the old cells, with the same genetic information.
8. Cells are typically measured in micrometers (μm).
9. DNA/chromosomes are a type of organic molecule called nucleic acids.
10. DNA is not usually visible when it is coiled, but it can be visible when it is uncoiled during cell division.
11. The process that ensures that new skin cells are just like old skin cells is called mitosis, which is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells.
12. In a healthy daughter cell, the number of chromosomes would also be 46 (assuming it is a somatic cell).
13. Cell "A" is the normal cell, as spending most of its time in interphase is characteristic of normal cells. Cell "B" is the cancer cell, as cancer cells tend to spend less time in interphase and more time dividing rapidly.
