Number of chromosomes (N) per cell.
How does cytokinesis in plant cells differ from that in animal cells?
List the main differences between mitosis and meiosis.
What is the significance of meiosis?
The diagram shows some of the structures present in an animal cell. 
Which of these structures is responsible for,
- Manufacture of lipids and steroids.
- Release of energy.
- Manufacture of hormones and digestive enzymes.
- Production of spindle fibres in cell division.
- Endo and exocytosis?
Manish while performing a practical in laboratory on Grams stain observed that one type of bacteria stained dark blue or purple in colour, while the other type of bacteria did not retain the crystal violet dye even after staining again and again. Instead it keeps on loosing the dye on washing. He rushed to his teacher for showing the specimen.
His teacher explained that there is nothing to get worried about. As different kinds ofbacteria are found.
- What is the basis of classifying bacteria.
- What is the basic difference between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
- Name one Gram positive and one Gram negative bacteria.
- What values are shown by Manish's teacher?
