Julie Lake November 8‚ 2012 BIO 111‚ C11- Online Villalpando‚ Shawn 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

Mitosis Under Microscope Lab Report A. The purpose of the investigation is to determine the time an onion cell spends in each part of the cell cycle. B. The significance of this investigation is to help us understand and know how long cells are undergoing mitosis. My personal interest is to know the phases of mitosis in cells in order to someday help find cures for cancer. C. The cell cycle is a chronological set of events‚ culminating in cell growth and division into two daughter cells. Some

BIO Microscopy‚ Mitosis‚ and Motility Lab Discussion Questions In the Microscopy‚ Mitosis‚ and Motility lab‚ the class used the Compound Microscope. The Compound Microscope helped examine the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells‚ observe the different stages of mitosis‚ and compare modes of motility used by protists. The light compound microscope works with the aid of lenses such as the eyepiece. These lenses help keep the focus of the light on the eye. The fine and course adjustments also assist with

The Onion Cell Lab Background: Onion tissue provides excellent cells to study under the microscope. The main cell structures are easy to see when viewed with the microscope at medium power. For example‚ you will observe a large circular nucleus in each cell‚ which contains the genetic material for the cell. In each nucleus‚ are round bodies called nucleoli. The nucleolus is an organelle‚ which synthesizes small bodies called ribosomes. Ribosomes are so small you cannot see them with the light microscope

Life Science Lab. A. Arnold Tuesdays @ 2:30 September 30th‚ 2011 Lab Report: Nuclear and Cell Division. PART A: Stages of Mitosis in my own words. 1. Interphase: DNA has formed already‚ but it remains in the simple form of chromatin. Chromatins are structures that are loosely coiled in the cell.3 I also observed during my lab that this was the only stage where I could still see a nucleus and nucleolus intact within the cell; this is because it’s the only stage where the nuclear membrane has

Results: Somatic cells multiply through mitosis resulting in diploid‚ identical cells and meiosis provides for genetic variability along with haploid daughter cells‚ gametes‚ or sex cells. Most of the cells observed on the root tip were in interphase. Table 3.1 helped analyze the number of cells that are going through each phase of the cell cycle and helped estimate the amount of time it took for each cell to complete that phase. Table 3.2 compared and contrasted mitosis and meiosis. Conclusion: There

plants have roots that grow into the soil to help support its life. Roots are used by the plants to take nutrients and water out of the soil and send it through the plant. They also stabilize the plant. The root is made up multiple parts starting at the bottom with the root cap‚ then the zone of cell division next is the zone of cell elongation‚ and at the top of the root is the zone of differentiation. To figure out what section of the root has the highest number of cells in mitosis we did an experiment

Mitosis Lab Mitosis in Onion Root Tips Make a sketch of a representative cell in each of the four stages of mitosis in the space provided below. Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Can you distinguish any cells? Yes‚ you can identify cells that are undergoing development. In prophase‚ the chromosomes make and x shape. In metaphase‚ the chromosomes are moved to the middle of the cell. In anaphase‚ the chromosomes look like they are being pulled apart. And in telophase‚ the cell starts

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

Pouri‚ Nikole Period 1 1/14/12 Mitosis Lab Write-Up Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to understand the phases of mitosis through a hands on experience and not just textbook information. The objective is to visually determine each phase through a microscope with a clear understanding of what is happening. With this knowledge and this visual a picture is to be drawn as descriptive as possible for each phase. Materials: The materials needed are; 1) Microscope 2) A slide containing plant
