Cytoplasm and Nucleus
Learning Time: 4-12 hours
Content: The cytoplasm, the gel-like internal environment of the cell, is examined in this topic; its components and functions (metabolic reactions, organelle support) are discussed. The nucleus, as the storage site of DNA and RNA, is explained in detail; chromatin structure and the functions of the nucleolus are emphasized. The role of the nucleus in cell division is also taught in this context. In TYT, this topic includes questions about the processes within the cytoplasm and the functions of the nucleus. The current curriculum focuses on modern approaches to the conservation of genetic material and mutations.
- Structure of the Cytoplasm:
