Meiosis vs. Mitosis

When you are done your DNA models, check them with a teacher and then start work on the Mitosis vs Meiosis 
Webquest below.
Mitosis and Meiosis Comparison Worksheet

After you have completed the webquest view a few of the below videos.  Pay close attention to the following:
1. How many daughter cells are found at the end of each cell division?
2. What is the function of each division and which cells do they occur in?
3. How many chromosomes are found in the daughter cells compared to the mother cells?
4. How many divisions and interphases does each go through?

Cell Division and DNA

We are going to continue our work with Cell Reproduction.  Specifically we are going to look at DNA and how it makes up the chromosomes in your body.

The following are two great readings on DNA.
1. Science for Kids Link- DNA
2. Kidipede - Genetics for Kids


Here is a link to an interactive site on DNA:
1. Tour of the Basics  - from the University of Utah - Choose "What is a Chromosome?"
2. DNA Base Pairing- Interactive.

Here are two good videos explaining the relationship between DNA, genes, histones, chromatin, chromatids, and chromosomes.

Cell Cycle Simulation

The students worked today on cell cycle simulations using pipe cleaners and background pages.
Using their laptops and Photobooth they were able to take snap shots and import them to a Pages document.

Here are some photos from today's work.

Cell Cycle Online Webquest

Access the webquest by clicking on this link.

You will need to download this as it is a Pages Document.

Cell Division- Mitosis

Here is a great image of mitosis.  This is much like our text book but do not worry about the "Prometaphase."

Mitosis is the process of cell division for eukaryotic cells found in multicellular organisms.  All cells come from existing cells and mitosis is how most cells divide. The only eukaryotic cells which do not divide by mitosis are sex cells a.k.a. gametes a.k.a sperm and egg cells. 

Here are some videos that introduce cell division- mitosis.
