Mitosis and Cell Cycle Project

The past few days students have been working on a cell cycle and mitosis project.

To see exemplary student samples from last year, click here.

Below are the guidelines for the project. This is due in class on Friday for E block and Saturday for F block.

REQUIREMENTS: Each Student MUST READ CHAPTER , focusing on ,

Draw, Label, and Define ALL the PARTS of The Cell Cycle.

A. INTERPHASE - THE TIME OF THE CELL CYCLE BETWEEN CELL DIVISIONS. (3 PHASES) DRAW/MAKE A MODEL AND LABEL ONLY ONE PICTURE BUT DEFINE ALL THE PHASES.

B. MITOSIS (M PHASE) - A FOUR STAGE PROCESS WHICH THE NUCLEUS OF THE CELL DIVIDES INTO TWO NEW NUCLEI WITH IDENTICAL GENETIC MATERIAL. (FOUR STAGES) DRAW AND LABEL ALL FOUR STAGES AND DEFINE MITOSIS AND DESCRIBE EACH PHASE.

C. CYTOKINESIS - THE CYTOPLASM AND ORGANELLES OF THE PARENT CELL DIVIDES IN TWO NEW CELLS CALLED DAUGHTER CELLS. DRAW AND LABEL ONE PICTURE AND DEFINE AND DESCRIBE CYTOKINESIS. BE CAREFUL! Plant and animal cells undergo cytokinesis differently.
