Part 1: Mitosis


Use this video the help you review mitosis:

Question 1
1.

Question 2
2.

Question 3
3.

Question 4
4.
Conclusion: Because the majority of the cells are in this phase, I can conclude that cells spend the majority of their life span in __________

Part 2: Meiosis (Male)


Use this video to help you review meiosis:

Question 5
5.

Question 6
6.

Question 7
7.

Click here to open the Meiosis Gizmo.

Click on "Male" in the upper right hand corner.

Follow the directions to work through the stages of meiosis until you have creates 4 mature sperm cells.

Use the camera in the upper left hand corner to take a screen shot of your completed cells.

Right click and choose "Copy image to clipboard."

Click in the Free Response box below. Use the keyboard and press Control + V (Command + V on Macs) to paste the screenshot.

Part 2: Meiosis (Female)

You will be using the Meiosis Gizmo again.
Question 8
8.

Click on "Female" in the upper right hand corner.

Follow the directions to work through the stages of meiosis until you have creates a mature egg cell.

Use the camera in the upper left hand corner to take a screen shot of your completed cells.
Right click and choose "Copy image to clipboard."

Click in the Free Response box below. Use the keyboard and press Control + V (Command + V on Macs) to paste the screenshot.

Part 4: Compare and Contrast

Question 9
9.

How are mitosis and meiosis similar? How are they different?

Feel free to click on the blue "+" in the upper right corner of the box to record audio or video instead of typing.

Question 10
10.

How is the production of egg and sperm cells similar? How is it different?

Feel free to click on the blue "+" in the upper right corner of the box to record audio or video instead of typing.

Drag the images below to sequence the stages of mitosis beginning after Interphase.

Predict: Which part of the cell cycle do cells spend most of their lives in?
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis
Click here to open the Cell Division Gizmo.

Set up the simulation by clicking on the bar graph tab.


Press the play button.

After 100 simulation hours have passed, click pause and examine the bar chart.

Which phase are most of the cells in?
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis
Drag the images below to sequence the stages of meiosis I beginning after Interphase.

Drag the images below to sequence the stages of meiosis II beginning after Telophase I/Cytokinesis.
