Mitosis in a Nutshell • The stages of the cell cycle can be broken down into six stages: o Interphase‚ Prophase‚ Metaphase‚ Anaphase‚ Telophase Interphase • Is the "resting" or non-mitotic portion of the cell cycle. • It is comprised of G1‚ S‚ and G2 stages of the cell cycle. • DNA is replicated during the S phase of Interphase Prophase - the first stage of mitosis. • The chromosomes condense and become visible • The centrioles form and move toward opposite ends of the cell ("the poles")

Planning Exercise Aim To investigate the effect of phosphate on cell division in root tips. Background knowledge Phosphate ions (macronutrients) are needed large amounts by plants. They are required for root growth. For the root tips cells to divide‚ mitosis has to occur. Phosphate is needed for production of ATP which provides energy for mitosis to occur. DNA replication occurs during interphase of the cell cycle. DNA is made up of nitrogen containing base‚ pentose sugar and phosphate group

MITOSIS The Stages of Mitosis Mitosis is simply described as having four stages—prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ and telophase; the steps follow one another without interruption. The entire four-stage division process averages about one hour in duration‚ and the period between cell divisions‚ called interphase or interkinesis‚ varies greatly but is considerably longer. During INTERPHASE the chromosomes are dispersed in the nucleus and appear as a network of long‚ thin threads or filaments‚ called the

Mitosis Mitosis is the process where a cell divides‚ to create two diploid cells identical to the first other than for a small bit of protein that lets the cell know how many times it has divided. 1. The cell duplicates its chromosomes so that it now has double as many‚ but they remain attached. 2/3. The cell begins to split until it has the chromosomes have separated completely‚ to form two separate set of chromosomes. The cell begins to divide. 4. The cell divides completely to form two diploids

Title- Mitosis Abstract –For this lab there is no experiment to be done only questions to be answered. In this experiment we will categorize and count the cells to compute the mitotic index of the total root area. Introduction – The purpose of this experiment is to answer questions associated with the onion root tip photos that are pictured in the lab. The questions for this lab will be drawn from the discussion and review section at the beginning of the mitosis lab. Once that section has been

MBK – Lab Report Differential Staining Questions: A. What is a differential stain? How is it different from a simple stain? 1. A differential stain is a stain that differentiates between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Bacteria that stain purple are considered gram-positive and those that stain pink are considered gram-negative. 2. A simple stain is a stain that reacts with all microbes in and identical fashion. They are used to increase contrast. 3. They

Observation of Mitosis Introduction: Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms are produced. There are two types of reproduction‚ which are; asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is creation of offspring whose genes all come from one parent. Sexual reproduction is creation of offspring by fusion of male gametes (sperm) and female gametes (eggs) to form zygotes. Asexual reproduction involves a type of cell division known as mitosis. Mitosis is the scientific

Biology March 5‚ 2015 Introduction In the Mitosis lab an onion root was observed under a microscope to observe whether or not cell division takes place. Also‚ whether cells replicate in order for it to reproduce. By observing the onion root under the microscope it allows many layers to be looked at through each cell division. The goal of Mitosis is the replication of cells to produce multiple like cells. The steps involved in Mitosis are what is known as the PMAT stages‚ which are the following:
