Human body is made up of 60-65% water Different types of cells contain water cell is also called small room of body. It was first observed by Robert hook in his experiment Human body contains 100 trillions of cells to perform daily activity of our body. Cell contains hereditary information

chromosome

Every cell contain chromosome. Human body contains 46 chromosome. Chromosome are created by cells in cell division. Cancer disease is cause root of irregular cell division

Every chromosome contain DNA. It is called deoxyribo nucleic acid. DNA segments contain genetic information DNA control the whole cell through the chromosome. so its known as control centre. It is also known as hard disk because it has the general information about the whole body.

It guides the cell to make new proteins to perform our daily activities. It pass genetic information to one generation to another generation.
