1 – Mitosis and Meiosis 1. A certain species has three pairs of chromosomes: an acrocentric pair‚ a metacentric pair‚ and a telocentric pair. Draw a cell of this species as it would appear in metaphase of mitosis. (BAP 2.18) 2. A cell in G1 of interphase has 12 chromosomes. How many chromosomes and DNA molecules will be found per cell when this original cell progresses to the following stages? (BAP 2.20) a) G2 of interphase b) Metaphase I of meiosis c) Prophase of mitosis d) Anaphase I of meiosis

Mitosis and Meiosis Purpose To understand the cell cycle and mitosis and how these two processes function within an organism. To understand meiosis and how this process produces gametes. Mitosis All cells in your body complete a cell cycle in which they grow‚ divide and‚ eventually‚ die. The cell cycle consists of four phases: G1‚ S‚ G2‚ and M (Figure 1). Each phase is associated with a specific cellular function: typically growth‚ synthesis‚ and division. The G1‚ S‚ and G2 phases comprise

Enzyme Lab Introduction/ Abstract An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. They are mainly made up of proteins and can tremendously speed up reactions. E. coli ( a bacterium) has about 1‚000 different types of enzymes floating around in its cytoplasm at any given time. Enzymes can be used to join and even break up molecules as shown in the diagram below. (1)

PAPER 3 Answer all question. Question 1 Transpiration is the evaporation of water vapour from the leaves surface. Air movement is one of the factor that affects the evaporation of water vapour. A group of student carried out an experiment to study the effect of air movement on rate of transpiration of plants. Diagram 1 shows the apparatus used by the students. The experiment was conducted under still air and strong fan speed. Diagram 1 The time taken for the air bubble in the capillary tube to

A less rigid structure: water pressure supports them. 5. Flat leaves on surface plants for floatation. 6. Air sacs for floatation. 7. Smaller roots: water can diffuse directly into leaves. 8. Feathery roots: no need to support

Mitosis and Meiosis When going over the cell cycle‚ mitosis and meiosis are two major components. Mitosis is the division of the cell’s nucleus‚ and is followed by cytokinesis. Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm. Mitosis is only one phase that a cell goes through in the cell cycle. Also the mitotic phase is one of the shortest phases. Mitosis can be broken down into five different stages; prophase‚ prometaphase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ and telophase. In prophase the nucleoli starts to disappear

Meiosis and Mitosis Meiosis vs. Mitosis: Meiosis requires two nuclear divisions‚ but mitosis requires only one nuclear division. Meiosis producers four daughter nuclei‚ and there are four daughter cells following cytokinesis; mitosis followed by cytokinesis results in two daughter cells. Following meiosis‚ the four daughter cells are haploid and have half the chromosome number as the parent cell. Following mitosis‚ the daughter cells have the same chromosome number as the parent cell. Following
