The diversity of living things slows down the process of development, and some guesses were forgotten, then rediscovered after a long time. Nineteenth century, pieces of indivisible genes control individual traits. 20th century, dna and rna were discovered form basic life units. Technique brought a more in-depth understanding: cells. 19th century biology advance: new cell arise only by the division of preexisting cells. Plasma membrane/ mitochondria/ cytoplasm/ e. r. / golgi bodies/ chloroplast/ solution of salts, sugars and proteins/ nucleus/ ribosome. Mitosis/meiosis and the cell cycle chromosomes/chromatin diploid/ haploid(germ cells) centromere, telomere, nucleolar organizers coalesced into nucleoli. Chromosome abnormality: burkitl"s lymphoma, segments of chromosome 8&14 exchanged, sign for cancer, wilm"s tumor: deletion of part of human chromosome 11. #1: down syndrome: three copies of chromosome 21. Bacterial chromosome: one piece, haploid, nonsexual reproduction: inheriting single traits.
