OBJECTIVES
 Review major plant and animal cell organelle structure
and function (i.e., cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus,
cytoplasm, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and vacuoles)
 Explain that every organism requires a set of instructions
that specifies its traits and that genes located in
chromosomes contain this hereditary information
 Compare and contrast sexual reproduction requiring
meiosis and asexual reproduction requiring mitosis and
how they relate to heredity
 Discuss and describe the role of DNA in an organism
 Organize the contents of the nucleus into proper order of
size.

Understand and explain that every organism requires a set of instructions that specifies its traits, that this hereditary information (DNA) contains
genes located in the chromosomes of each cell, and that heredity is the passage of these instructions from one generation to another. AA
