Perhaps a recipe for a food product. You can use a cake or bread recipe. If all the steps are followed, you will get bread. If you don't, the bread will be a failure. If you try to make raisin bread and substitute cranberries or cherries, you will have bread but a mutation.

What might happen to a daughter cell if all of the chromosomes were not present after mitosis?
It would not function properly and the best scenario is that it would die. The worst scenario is that is might become cancerous.
What might happen if an egg cell received two X chromosomes during meiosis instead of one?

Is an objects function a physical property?
An object's function is not a physical property, it is an abstraction. When we say that something has a particular function we are saying what use we intend to make of that object. It is our thought, it is not an inherent property of the object. Let us say for example that I own a knife. Its function is to chop vegetables, since that is what I do with it. However, another person might say that the function of that knife is to cut the throat of his enemies, because that is what he intends to do with it. Another person might say that its function is to carve wood. Its actual physical properties include a sharp edge. The sharp edge is a property, but the use to which that sharp edge is put depends upon the object's owner.

What are some of the things from your favourite game that you could represent as objects What might their data members and member functions be?
Any object (real or imagined) can be modelled in computer memory. The data members depend on the type of object we are attempting to represent and to what degree we wish to represent it. The member functions depend on how we wish to interact with the representation. There is no single answer to this because two people can implement the exact same type of object in very different ways, according to their actual needs. As ever, if an existing class of object meets our needs, we use it. If not, we adapt or extend it through derivation if the class permits it. If all else fails, we can always design a new class of object that meets our precise needs.
