AND 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

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

Title: Objective: The objective of this experiment is to see the stages of mitosis in a garlic root tip. Apparatus: Garlic roots 5 Molar hydrochloric acid Toluidine blue stain 2 watch glasses or small sample tubes Hollow glass blocks Pipettes Microscope slides and cover slips Pair of fine forceps Filter paper Microscope with magnifications of x100 and x400 Stop watch Method: 1. Firstly cut out about 1cm from several root tips of growing garlic roots. Choose root tips which are white and have

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

Labset Five Worksheet 1. List five environments where you are likely to find microbial growth: Lakes‚ soil‚ oceans‚ tundras‚ deserts 2. How do microbes contribute to soil fertility? The decomposition that microbes take part in help release mineral nutrients‚ such as potassium and nitrogen‚ from dead organic matter and allowing primary producers the nutritional access. They also produce CO2 and CH4 to release into the soil and atmosphere. 3. Describe the growth you observed in each of your

Observations of Chemical Changes Purpose/Hypothesis: To observe how acids react with bases and examine reactions of common household cleaners and the macroscopic changes these chemicals undergo. I expect for each solution to react differently when mixed with acids and bases. Procedure: I have a well-plate-96‚ a piece of white and black paper‚ and the chemicals from the Observation of Chemical Changes Experiment Bag. I used a different well for each combination of solutions. I placed two

Abstract: The question of the investigation is if lectin can induce mitosis in the cell of an onion root tip. The hypothesis is that‚ if the lectin does not induce mitosis‚ then there should not be a great change in the number of cells that undergo mitosis. The alternate is‚ if the lectin does induce mitosis‚ then there should be an increase in of cells in mitosis. The control group of the experiment had root tip treated with water‚ and the experimental had root tip treated with lectin. Upon the

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

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
