Shawn Lab 8 Title: Mitosis and Meiosis Exercise 1: Mitosis in Animal and Plant Cells Questions: A.) What is the purpose of mitosis? The purpose of mitosis is to create or produce more cells for a living organism. Mitosis occurs when genetic substance in the nucleus divides or separates in order to create more cells. Cytokinesis normally occurs next and the single cell develops into two separate cells. This same process continues to occur over and over creating more cells for an organism replacing

Mitosis vs. Meiosis Cell Division is the process of dividing a parent cell into multiple daughter cells by using the Cell Cycle. The Cell Cycle itself is composed of the Interphase‚ usually Mitosis‚ and Cytokinesis. The Interphase‚ which takes up 90% of the Cell Cycle‚ is composed of three phases: Growth 1 (G1)‚ Synthesis (S)‚ and Growth 2 (G2). In the G1 phase‚ the cell grows its size‚ replicates any organelles‚ and functions normally. In the S phase‚ it would prepare to divide its nucleus. Lastly

Chromosomes A. Inheritance of Genes * Parents endow their offspring with coded information in the form of hereditary units called genes * Most genes program cells to synthesize specific enzymes and other proteis‚ whose cumulative action produces an organism’s inherited traits * In animals and plants‚ reproductive cells called gametes are the vehicles that transmit genes from one generation to the next * A gene’s specific location along the length of a chromosome is called the gene’s

To the informed reader‚ it is known that the Onion is a news website in which satirical articles are written about local and national events‚ however‚ this satire can sometimes be missed due to the nature of the article and its presentation of information. Due to how the article is written in the fashion of an actual news article it creates the appearance of actual news and could be seen as such if the satire is missed. With the articles use of quotations and the appearance of fact it gives the tone

Ryan Juergens 01/29/2013 Pd:05th Mitosis VS. Meiosis All living things are made of cells from bacteria to the most complex being on earth us. These cells must reproduce in some way one method is mitosis that would take place in bacteria while‚ another way is meiosis one that you may have heard of in sex education. These‚ two processes may seem similar at first but as you take a closer look like we do in this essay you will learn that these processes are very different in many distinctive

PRACTICAL 2 Title: Modelling of mitosis Objectives: To represent the pairs of homologous chromosomes by using pairs of model chromosomes. Introduction: Materials: 1. Noodles 2. Cutter Method: 1. The pair of model chromosomes is used to demonstrate how the two chromosomes line up at the beginning of mitosis. 2. After that the way of the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate into two separate chromosomes is demonstrated. 3. The spindle fibers that pull the sister chromatids apart is represented

BIO Microscopy‚ Mitosis‚ and Motility Lab Discussion Questions In the Microscopy‚ Mitosis‚ and Motility lab‚ the class used the Compound Microscope. The Compound Microscope helped examine the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells‚ observe the different stages of mitosis‚ and compare modes of motility used by protists. The light compound microscope works with the aid of lenses such as the eyepiece. These lenses help keep the focus of the light on the eye. The fine and course adjustments also assist with

Mitosis in Plant and Animal Cells OBJECTIVES Observe and identify cells undergoing the process of mitosis. Compare the stages of mitosis in plant cells with these stages in animal cells. MATERIALS • compound light microscope • prepared slides (longitudinal sections of onion or garlic root tips) • prepared slides (whitefish blastula or other animal tissue) Procedure PART 1: MITOSIS IN PLANT CELLS 1. Observe a prepared slide of a longitudinal section of onion or garlic root tips. Use low

organisms grow by way of mitosis and the cytoplasmic division of body cells. On the other hand‚ meiosis occurs only in germ cells‚ which are put aside for the formation of gametes (sperm and egg). Reproduction by meiosis allows for species survival and it increases genetic variability. The process‚ during which the germ cells are generated is called meiosis. It represents nature’s solution to the problem of chromosome doubling that would occur‚ if two diploid cells‚ i.e. two cells with a double set of

Lab Report #1 Ahmad Dweik Question/Problem Which phase of cell division / mitosis is seen most often in whitefish blastula? Introduction Cell division is the process of a parent cell dividing into two daughter cells. Mitosis is a type of cell division. In mitosis a parent cells chromosomes are copied and separated into two cells with different nucleuses but same DNA. There are steps or phases that take place that make the cell divide. The first phase is called Interphase. In interphase there
