Factors That Affect Mitosis

• To describe the events that occur in the cell cycle

• To differentiate phases of the cell cycle interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (including cytokinesis)

• To explain how mitosis results in the transmission of chromosomes from one generation to the next

• To calculate the percentage of cells in different stages of mitosis and the approximate time of these stages

• To analyze the effect of lectin protein on mitosis

• To interpret micrographs of onion root cuttings to identify cells in different phases of mitosis

• To use a model that illustrates cell division and differentiation.

• To perform chi-square test for hypothesis testing and explain the effect of lectin on mitosis

LS1-4 Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms.
