Cell Cycle - Mitosis
This is supplemental material to Lecture #10 that I provide to students taking my Cell Biology for Health Science, HCR 118 course.
You don't need to be enrolled in this class to access the materials here. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in biology may find this material useful and is welcome to use it.
This page includes or directs you to:
- a list of learning objectives
- review questions
- practice test questions
- a practice mitosis exercise
- animations of mitosis
- a PowerPoint lecture
- additional articles that support the lecture material
Lecture 10 Learning Objectives
o What is the relationship between replication and mitosis?
o What are the two main phases of the cell cycle?
o What are the stages of mitosis, and what happens at each phase?
o If DNA is condensed into chromosomes, is the cell in interphase or mitosis?
o If the DNA is condensed into chromosomes, can replication, transcription and translation occur?
o If the DNA is not condensed, if it is in the form of chromatin, is the cell in interphase or mitosis?
o If a cell has a total of 6 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each of its daughter cells have?
o What is cytokinesis and when does it occur?
o How does cytokenesis of a plant and animal cell differ?
o What are homologous chromosomes? What does a pair of unduplicated homologues look like?
o What are sister chromatids? How do homologues and sister chromatids differ?
Quizzes and Review Questions
Mitosis Practice Worksheet
Click here for a Word document which you can use to diagram the stages of mitosis. This exercise will help you to make sure you understand what is happening to the chromosomes during each stage of nuclear division.
