how do u calculate the magnification of a light microscope?
magnification of the eye piece x objective lens

what is a advantage of a electron microscope?
the wavelength of electrons is much smaller than the wavelength of light. so much greater detail and magnification can be seen.

what does a plant cell have a animal cell doesnt?
cell wall and vacoule and chloroplasts

name the features of a bacteria cell?
flagella, plasmid dna, cytoplasm, cell wall, chromosomal DNA

What is genetic engineering?
removing a gene from one organism and inserting it into another.Genes can be inserted into animal cells, plant cells and mircoorganisms.

mitosis?
the division of a cell nucleus to produce two cell nuclei with genetically identical sets of chromosomes.

compare where it happens in mitosis to meiosis?
mitosis - in most parts of the body - meiosis - in the ovaries and testes
11 of 15
compare the number of cells made in mitosis to meiosis?
mitosis - 2 cells - meiosis - 4 cells
12 of 15
compare the genetic varition in mitosis to meiosis?
mitosis- all cells are genetically identical - meiosis- all cells are genetically different
13 of 15
compare the number of chromosomes in the nucleus?
mitosis- 2 sets of chromosomes (diploid) meiosis- one set of chromosomes (haploid)
