Complete the following 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

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

of interphase to the end of telophase lasts about 24 hours. The mitotic index (MI)‚ which is the percentage of cells undergoing mitosis‚ was determined for each division of the root tip. In order to determine the mitotic index for each region‚ the total number of nuclei must first be determined‚ and from that number‚ the number of cells undergoing some stage of mitosis must be determined. Knowing both numbers from a section allows for the calculation of the mitotic index. Knowing the mitotic index

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

division of nuclear material in which each new nucleus obtains the same number of chromosomes and the same nuclear code as the original nucleus is call mitosis. Mitosis occurs in four phases. Interphase occurs between mitosis. Interphase: Cell contains easily seen nucleus and nucleolus- chromosomes appear as fine dots within nucleus Mitosis: 4 steps Prophase – cell nucleus enlarged –nucleolus no longer visible- chromosomes appear as short strands within nucleus. Metaphase – chromosomes

Lab 3: Mitosis and Meiosis Purpose: 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. Hypothesis: I predict that

1 and Mitosis are very similar events‚ however‚ they have certain differences. One difference is crossing over. Meiosis 1 does cross over and because of that‚ it creates genetic changes. Mitosis ‚ on the other hand‚ does not cross over. Something else that is different is the way it occurs. Meiosis 1 is sexual but Mitosis is asexual. Another change is the number of divisions that each event goes through. Meiosis 1 goes through 2 divisions which ends up having 4 haploid cells‚ however Mitosis only

|Compare and contrast the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Discuss the roles and significance of mitosis and meiosis in the | |life of flowering plants and mammals‚ illustrating your answer with examples where appropriate. | Many living organisms in the Earth can continue because of the process of producing individuals called reproduction. Both mitosis and meiosis which are nuclear division in mitotic and meiotic cell division respectively play important roles
