Why do living things grow?
Cell division occurs in all organisms
Cell Division has many functions Growth Development Repair Reproduction
Describe how the number of cells in the organism changes as the organism grows. Growth
Development
Give three examples of specialized cells Development
What role does cell division play in healing the body? Repair
Summarize Process: Create a comic strip showing cell division involved in growth, development, and repair.
Why don’t adults look like six feet tall babies? Vocab Words: Mitosis, Chromosomes, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase.
What is your pneumonic for PMAT? Why does it make it easier for you to remember the stages of Mitosis? Vocab words: Centriole, Centromere, Spindle Fibers, Cytokenisis, Interphase, nuclear membrane, chromatid,
What is the difference between a chromatid and chromosome?
Mitosis is the part of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides. The function of mitosis is to move the DNA and other materials in the parent cell into position for cell division.
Cytokinesis: the division of the parent cell's cytoplasm. Cytokinesis occurs immediately after mitosis.
Chromosomes are the DNA wrapped up into nice tight structure.
Steps of Mitosis Chromosomes form: Prophase Chromosomes line up: Metaphase Chromosomes separate: Anaphase Nuclei form: Telophase Cytokinesis
