Cell Division

MITOSIS and MEIOSIS


Mitosis Objectives
  1. Describe the structural organization the genome
  2. Overview the major events of cell division that enable the genome of one cell to be passed on to 2 daughter cells
  3. Describe how chromosome number changes throughout the human life cycle
  4. List the phases of the cell cycle and describe the sequence of events that occurs during each phase
  5. List the phases of mitosis and describe the events characteristic of each phase
  6. Recognize the phases of mitosis from diagrams or micrographs.
  7. Draw or describe the spindle apparatus including centrosomes, microtubules, asters, and centrioles (in animal cells)
  8. Describe what characteristic changes occur in the spindle apparatus during each phase of mitosis
  9. Explain the current models for poleward chromosomal movement and elongation of the cell's polar axis
  10. Compare cytokinesis in animals and plants
  11. Describe the process of binary fission in bacteria and how this process may have evolved to mitosis in eukaryotes
  12. Describe the roles of checkpoints in the cell-cycle control system
  13. Describe the internal and external factors which influence the cell-cycle control system
  14. Explain how abnormal cell division of cancerous cells differs from normal cell division

Meiosis Objectives
1)      Explain why organisms only reproduce their own kind and why offspring more closely resemble their parents than unrelated individuals of the same species
2)      Explain what makes heredity possible
3)      Distinguish between asexual and sexual reproduction
4)      Diagram the human life cycle and indicate where in the human body that mitosis and meiosis occur: which cells are the result of meiosis and mitosis and which cells are haploid and which are diploid
5)      Distinguish among the life cycle patterns of animals, plants, and fungi
6)      List the phases of meiosis I and meiosis II and describe the events characteristic of each phase
7)      Recognize the phases of meiosis from diagrams or micrographs
8)      Describe the process of synapsis during prophase I and explain how genetic recombination occurs
9)      Describe key differences between mitosis and meiosis and explain how the end result of meiosis differs from that of mitosis
10)  Explain how independent assortment, crossing over, and random fertilization contribute to genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms
11)  Explain why inheritable variation was crucial to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection
12)  List sources of genetic variation

    ***note: drawings need to be in color
           - please use red for chromosomes from mother and blue from father
           - keep colors used in each cell the same for comparison of mitosis and meiosis
