Definition
mitosis
Term
The exchange of segments of DNA between chromatids in meiosis, to form gametes

using a microscope to look at the nucleus
Term
How is energy stored in cells?
Definition
ATP
Term
What does water do for a cell?
Definition
hydrates, keeps it turgid and provides a soluble place for reactions
Term
