onion root tip specimen Purpose: * understand and identify the stages of the cell cycle and mitosis. * apply an analytical technique to estimate the relative length of each stage of the cell cycle. Hypothesis Procedure: I predict that all cells somatic will suffer all the division of mitosis multiple times in their lifetime; the product would be able to see the chromosomes in a stage of mitosis. It is predicted that the cells won’t be seen clears or big enough‚ but is going to give ideas

1. Identification of Some Macromolecules 1) What are 2 types of treatment controls‚ and explain each. Positive control: gives positive result if experimental conditions were followed correctly Negative control: gives negative result if experimental conditions were followed correctly 2) What are the most abundant elements in living material? Carbon‚ Hydrogen‚ Oxygen‚ Nitrogen‚ Sulfur and Phosphorus 3) What are the 4 major biological macromolecules? Carbohydrates (monosaccharides &

Biology 1. If an interphase cell is treated with cyanide (a metabolic poison)‚ the cell does not divide by mitosis. However‚ if cyanide is added right after mitosis has started‚ the same cell completes mitosis. Which of the following explains this observation? A. Metabolic activity ceases during mitosis B. Cell division does not require metabolic activity C. Energy required for mitosis is produced and stored in the cell during interphase D. Mitotic cells make factors that make them resistant to

This tells us bulb D‚ the onion immersed in the highest caffeine concentration‚ had the hardest time growing. With that said‚ one would expect to see the most mitosis in bulb A. This is because mitosis increases cell growth and number. However‚ after recording the number of mitotic phases in each treatment bulb B had the most cells in mitosis and bulb A had the least. This could’ve been due to the experimental problems in the next paragraph. Bulb A’s roots grew the most because this onion only ever

Virtual Lab: The Cell Cycle and Cancer Worksheet 1. In which phase of mitosis do each of the following occur: a. Centromeres split and chromosomes move toward opposite sides of the cell- Anaphase b. Chromatin coils to form visible chromosomes - Prophase c. The nuclear membrane disappears- Prophase d. Sister chromatids line up in the center of the cell- Metaphase 2. In which phases of mitosis are sister chromatids visible‚ and attached to each other at the centromere? Metaphase

1. Why are spindle fibers important for mitosis? (5 points) Spindle fibers work as a path for chromosomes to travel(Campbell‚ 2009). 2. State the four bases that make up DNA. (4 points) a. (A)-Adenine b. (G)-Guanine c. (T)-Thymine d. (C)-Cytosine (Campbell‚ 2009). 3. What are the two base pairs? (2 points) a. AG b. CT 4. Answer the following questions: a. Define the term crossing over. (3 points) The phase in meiosis where chromosomes exchange segments of genetic materials (Campbell‚ 2009). b. Explain

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to recognize the stages as well as events of mitosis and meiosis in a plant cell or an animal cell. The relative duration of each stage in the cell cycle will also be learned during this lab. By doing this lab we will also create a model of and understand the process of crossing over. This lab also helps students understand the similarities along with differences between mitosis and meiosis. Purpose The objectives of the lab were to help give us a better
Premium Chromosome Mitosis Meiosis
Meiosis BIOL 1111 Introduction Meiosis is the second important kind of nuclear division. It resembles mitosis in many ways but the consequences of meiotic divisions are very different from those of mitotic divisions. While mitotic division may occur in almost any living cell of an organism‚ meiosis occurs only in special cells. In animals‚ meiosis is restricted to cells that form gametes (eggs and sperm). Each species has a characteristic number of chromosomes per somatic cell. Fruit flies
