General Biology (BI131 01) The Cell Structure and function Abstract In this lab the structures of various cells were viewed through a compound microscope. The bacteria in yogurt was viewed a long with a slice of potato‚ and a thin skin of red onion. The potato was dyed with iodine while the red onion was dyed with methane blue. The students had to assemble the first three slides. Two more slides were provided these are the yeast and protozoa cells. Those

Meiosis is the process in sexually reproducing organisms where cells divide. The cells produced during meiosis have half the chromosome number as the original cell. There are two cell divisions in meiosis‚ meiosis l and meiosis ll. These cell divisions produce 4 hapolid daughter cells. Haploid cells contain only one set of chromosomes‚ which is written as n. Meiosis consists of nine phases. In meiosis the interphase l the chromosomes replicate and the centrosome duplicates in one diploid cell

Mitosis Lab Mitosis in Onion Root Tips Make a sketch of a representative cell in each of the four stages of mitosis in the space provided below. Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Can you distinguish any cells? Yes‚ you can identify cells that are undergoing development. In prophase‚ the chromosomes make and x shape. In metaphase‚ the chromosomes are moved to the middle of the cell. In anaphase‚ the chromosomes look like they are being pulled apart. And in telophase‚ the cell starts

It is important that cells go through mitosis because it makes each new cell contain the same gentic information. If meiosis did not occur the reproduction would cease to exist. Mitosis is the process of chromosomes dividing. There are four steps that it goes through. Between cell division the cells are in interphase. During this there is cell growth and the genetic material such as DNA is contained in the chromosomes‚ duplicated so that when the cell divides each new cell has a full version of

Between meiosis and mitosis there are many unique similarities and differences such that mitosis has four stages and meiosis has eight. Or a similarity where they both have no new gene combination when each of the cells splits after each of their processes. Many more of these similarities and differences will be explained throughout the text. Many similarities occur between meiosis and mitosis such that each process‚ after it has been gone through‚ result in no new gene combination. Each new cell also

base. A and T pair together to form a DNA molecule and G and C together form a DNA molecule. The shape that Rosalind images were was a spiral shape. DNA unites all organisms’ means that DNA is the main source in the cell and has the most important job‚ therefore uniting the cells. The DNA of all living organisms have the same structure and code. 80 percent would be the percentage of Guanine because Cytosine is 20 percent and 80 plus 20 equals 100.

Lab #3: Mitosis and Meiosis To investigate the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Cells come from previous existing cells. New cells are formed by cell division‚ which involves karyokinesis and cytokinesis. Karyokinesis is the division of the cell’s nucleus and cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Mitosis and meiosis are the two types of nuclear division. Mitosis results in body cells: the formation of an adult organism from a fertilized egg‚ regeneration‚ asexual reproduction‚

Osmosis in Red Onion Cells By: Youssef Gharib Brief Description of Osmosis in Red Onion cells: Osmosis is the diffusion of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. The purpose of this lab is to compare the three different types of solutions affect on the relative size of the vacuole to the cell‚ the outer membrane of onion red cells (tunics) are used to figure out the different types. In the red onion you can see effects promptly

the size of cheek cell and onion cell DCP: Introduction: In this experiment‚ Onion cells (Allium cepa) Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) were measured and compared. The aim of this experiment is to find out how both cells differ by comparing their size. Onion cells (Allium cepa) is plant cell and Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) is an animal cell. Hypothesis: The size of an animal cell (Homo sapiens) should be smaller than a plant cell (Allium cepa). Because a plant cell has cell wall which is to maintain

Cheek and Onion Cell Experiment The aim of this experiment will be to show that different cells have different structures and textures. Hypothesis I believe that viewing these different cell types under the microscope will show more detail and variations between the cells.
