A blog covering and explaining the Edexcel IGCSE Biology specification for the 2016 summer exams. If you are doing just double science, you do not need to learn the stuff for paper two, if you are doing triple you will need to learn all (GOOD LUCK!) I have separated the papers to make files easier to find. Hope it helps :)

3.13 understand hat the nucleus of a cell contains chromosomes on which genes are located
Okay so basically every cell contains a nucleus, every nucleus contains chromosomes (humans are diploid and have 46 chromosomes, except for sex cells which are haploid and have 23). Each chromosome is made up of a long coil of DNA. DNA can be sectioned, a small section of DNA is known as a gene.

Not every cell contains a nucleus. Please word your explanation more clearly and formally as well.
