Cell Division Why must cells divide? To start it off‚ cells can’t keep growing forever‚ so when they reach a certain size they will have to divide. Cells divide for four important reasons; reproduction‚ growth‚ repair‚ and replacement of damaged or worn out cells. Most cells divide at least once during their life cycle and some divide divide dozens of time times before they die. There are three types of cell division. They are binary fission‚ mitosis‚ and meiosis. When cell division is

Procedure: Data and Observations: Create a data table containing a tally of the number of cells observed in each of the following stages: Stage Number Number of Cells of Cells in Part in Part 1 2 Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis Record any observations about the cells you observed (what does the cell look like for each stage): Data Analysis: Calculate the percentage of the cell cycle spent in each stage.

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. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes‚ they received one from each parent. During prophase l the nuclear envelope fragments and spindle microtubules form between

suicide (apoptosis). In cancer cell this process become different as a result of genetic mutations‚ this process or malfunctions are a result of uncontrolled cells proliferation. The cell cycle has three different stages: Interphase‚ Mitosis and Cytokinesis. Interphase has three parts; G1‚ S and G2. During the G1 process the cell grows and prepares to synthesize DNA which means that the cell grows and make its own proteins . In G1 the cell determines

1. How DNA replication takes place? DNA replication occurs within the interphase‚ In this phase two strands of DNA serve as templates for new DNA strands that are forming. As the DNA separates a replication bubble is formed‚ this is where two replication forks are formed that grow in two directions. DNA polymerase creates new strands as nucleotides are added individually to each strand. As each nucleotide pairs itself to the complimentary nucleotide on the opposite strand‚ new DNA molecules are formed

Procedure Part 1: For this portion of the laboratory‚ please sketch a cell with 4 chromosomes going through each stage of mitosis starting with what the cell would look like following interphase. You should label your work and include a list of 2-3 events that are taking place during each of the phases of mitosis. You will also want to include the total number of chromosomes in the parent and daughter cells. Part 2: For this portion
