I gave you a booklet which illustrates mitosis and meiosis. Please do the following to review the steps.
First, watch the mitosis and meiosis sections of my lesson video. Watch from 5 min and 50 seconds!
1. Next, WRITE what happens in each step in PEN. 10 marks
2. DRAW the spindlefibres and the centrioles in the correct spot in each step.10 marks
3. COLOUR the strands of DNA and make the colours consistent throughout the booklet. 10 marks
4. LABEL the section on nondisjunction. 5 marks
5. On the last page, DRAW and label the following on the LAST PAGE 5 marks
a. Chromatin
b. chromatid
c. sister chromatids
d. Chromosome
e. Homologous chromosomes
EVALUATION
37-40. You completed everything in the questions above and it is in PEN, neatly done, clear and colour coded. You used pen, or you typed it up and printed it, pasting the paper on your sheet.
30-36. You completed everything but it is difficult to read what you did, it is in pencil
Prepare a model of mitosis out of pipe cleaners (sample below by M. B.)
Draw mitosis under high power in the light microscope in 3 pictures. Label the stages of mitosis
Edmund Beecher Wilson - Figure 2 of: Wilson, Edmund B. (1900) The cell in Development and Inheritance (2nd ed.)
steps of cell cycle: you should write a table showing the steps as well as the FORM OF DNA role of other organelles
1. INTERPHASE - a. cell is undergoing growth. After a period of growth, it prepares to divide b. cell replicates its DNA. Nuclear membrane is still intact 2. PROPHASE Nuclear membrane disappears and the chromosomes are visible 3. METAPHASE chromosomes line up in the middle and Centrioles send out the spindle fibres to attach to the centromere 4. ANAPHASE centromeres get ripped apart and thus the chromosomes get ripped apart into separate chromatids 5. TELOPHASE nuclear membrane reforms around the chromatids 6. CYTOKINESIS chromatin is in the nucleus now.
CREATIVELY answer the following questions on your own paper and photograph this and send it in through teams. Answer in full sentences and draw your answers.
1. What is Chromatin? How many strands are there in a human? 2. How many chromatids are there in a human? 3. What is the 2n or diploid number? 4. What is mitosis used for? 5. What is meiosis used for? 6. Define "Gamete" 7. What is the Haploid number? 8. What organ makes sperm, what makes egg? 9. How many chromatids are in a sperm or egg? 10 Draw a fertilization 11. Draw how sperm cells are made using the number 46 to represent the chromatid number. 12. Draw and label Chromatin, Chromatid, Sister chromatids, Chromosome. And show me a homologous chromosome 13. Draw a mitosis with 2n= 6. Label the stages in detail. Remember to draw Interphase and show chromatins. 14. Draw a meiois with 2n=6. Label the stages. Again, draw interphase and show the chromatin. 15a. Why does crossing over happen during prophase I? 15b. What is primary nondisjunction. What can happen to the chromatid number?
16. The word chromosome is very tricky it's true definition is:
1 chromosome = 2 identical sister chromatids joined together in a centromere, What is the other definition and why can it be a very tricky word?
17. Write the steps of meiosis and mitosis side by side. (this is at the end of the video)
You can also take a look at this resource. It is meiosis and mitosis from a college level text book. This is extended reading for those who are interested in going through biology. I think many of you can actually handle this level.

presentation is out of 5.
For 5/5 it is typed with illustrations or photos and emailed HANDED IN THROUGH TEAMS for 4/5 it is pretty good but there are a few spelling mistakes. for 0-3 out of 5 it is in pencil or messy. I prefer this to be printed

0-4 your conclusions are not relating to your results at all
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
write all names and who contributed what including the % of their contribution. so two people who contributed equally would be50%

These cells have their nucleus stained. Draw two clear pictures of the specimens and on your lab sheet list 5 interesting facts about your specimen using your own research. Put these facts directly on your drawing. Put your name on your sheet, photograph your beautiful drawings and hand in through TEAMS
