1. Chromosome Theory of Heredity
Chromosomes are cell structures that carry the genetic material that is copied and passed from generation to generation of cells. ... Mutations can occur in either cell type. ... Most of the multicellular plants and animals we know have cells containing membrane bound structures and are therefore called eukaryotes. ... The majority of plant protein-coding genes contain introns, which must be removed from pre-mRNAs to produce mRNAs for translation into proteins. ... Important in development - different genes turned on in various cells allows cells to differentiate & carry out specialized func...
