    1. Describe what is happening during DNA replication. Make sure you include which proteins are involved and what they are doing during replication. DNA replication is semi-conservative. It occurs in “origin of replication” to form DNA ligase. In order for DNA to replicate it needs to follow a couple of steps. First: The parental strand divides in 2 separate strands; the helicase unwinds by cutting hydrogen bonds. Then‚ each strand is a template that attracts and binds complementary nucleotides

    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 old

    that are very tricky. They are mitosis and meiosis. Many people often get confused with the two about their functions. They both serve as mechanisms for cell division. However‚ quite significantly‚ they are very much different in fact and occur in different situations. Mitosis and meiosis take place in different places. This is one of the first major differences between the two. Mitosis takes place within somatic cells (cells that make up the body)‚ while meiosis takes place within gamete cells

    Mitosis and meiosis are the means by which reproduction takes place. Mitosis creates an exact duplicate of cell so that old cells can be replaced‚ such as in skin‚ hair‚ and bones. Meiosis allows a cell to unite one half of its genetic makeup with a cell from another partner to create an entirely new organism. Mitosis Mitosis is the process by which two daughter cells are formed‚ each containing a complete set of chromosomes. Mitosis is the process by which an organism creates new cells‚ such

    Mitosis and meiosis are both important biological processes that happen within eukaryotic cells. These two processes are slightly different from one another‚ but have a lot of similarities. Before each of these processes can be performed‚ the cell first has to go through interphase. Interphase is considered the primer for mitosis or meiosis and consists of: G1‚ S‚ and G2 phases. These phases prepare the cell for either mitosis or meiosis by causing the cell to grow‚ copy the DNA‚ and copy the cell’s

    REPLICATION WITHIN MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS ABSTRACT The processes of mitosis and meiosis were examined along with their frequency as well as each of the different steps and their time duration. It was found that the interphase stage of both mitosis and meiosis was the longest of all the stages as this was where most of the ‘action’ was happening such as cell growth and duplication of all cell organelles and chromosome replication also. It was also found that mitosis and meiosis have similar stages

    questions and submit via Blackboard 1. List two events which occur during prophase of mitosis: 1. An aster is formed by fibers radiating from the centrioles of the cell. 2. Chromosomes are formed when the chromatin threads coil and then condense‚ and these chromosomes are two identical chromatids bound together by a centromere.   2. What is the main occurrence involving the chromosomes during anaphase?
