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

4 – Chapter 5 Mitosis Mitosis is a division of the nucleus to produce two new daughter cells containing chromosomes identical to the parent cell. Significance of mitosis Growth- allows a zygote to produce more cell in order to grow Repair and replacement- allow the multicellular organism maintain its tissues‚ example skin cells and blood Asexual reproduction- clone The cell cycle divided into two major phases a. Interphase b. Mitosis Interphase is the period between division‚ divided into 3

Lab 8: Mitosis‚ Meiosis and the Cell Cycle . header Purpose: This activity is designed to familiarize you with the phases of mitosis and meiosis and compare these processes in a comparison chart. This activity will be three parts. For parts I and II‚ please scan your labeled work. Preparation: There is no preparation or materials needed for this activity. You will simply need access to a scanner to submit your work. Procedure Part 1: For this portion of the laboratory‚ please sketch a cell

Cytoplasm Cell Membrane Nucelous Nuclear Envelope Nuclear Pore Lysosomes Microtubles Microtubules- Is a component of the cytoskeleton. Centriole- Aids in cell division and it’s only in animal cells. Lysosomes- Clean-up organelle it digests and breaks down lipids‚ carbs‚ and proteins. Nuclear Pore- Dots on the envelope which allows material in the and out of the nucleus. Cell Membrane- It surrounds the cell and regulates what enters and leaves the cell. It is selectively

and mitosis are both types of cell division. Cell division is the reproduction of cells‚ and requires the duplication of chromosomes. Mitosis takes place when the nucleus divides. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces haploid gametes in diploid organisms. Mitosis and meiosis are two very different processes. While meiosis only requires the cell to divide twice‚ the cell only divides once during mitosis. This causes meiosis to produce four cells and mitosis to produce two cells. Mitosis

for mitotic cell division is 1 replication + 1 nuclear division + cytokinesis (1 cytoplasmic division). The purpose of mitotic cell division‚ in animals‚ is the growth and repair of somatic cells. The cells must divide‚ so surface area to volume ratio is optimal. This allows for differentiation. Interphase occupies about 90% of the cell cycle. It includes all cell activity between mitotic divisions during which the cell is preparing for division. These activities include growing by producing

AP BIOLOGY- Mitosis and Meiosis Cell Division Lab Part 1-MITOSIS summary: In this experiment first the stages of an onion cell undergoing mitosis are going to be observed and every stage is going to be detected and drawn on paper. A brief description to what is going on should be attached to the pictures. This is important to understand the basics of cell division which is necessary growth‚repair

the microstructure of a typical animal cell and the functions of the main cell components. A typical animal cell is seen as a tiny‚ three dimensional sac which is in fact made up of many components‚ each as important as the other. The microstructure of an animal cell was in fact uncovered mainly through the use of both cell fractionation and electron microscopy. Each main component has its own‚ individual function which helps a cell to function and maintains the cell membrane. The components that
