Mitosis

Each group was given the choice to cross either gray or tan Sodaria. Secondly each group would have to distinguish each asci to have undergone Mitosis I (MI) or Mitosis II (MII) crossing. This was able to be distinguished between the pattern of light and dark circles contained within the asci. Thirdly, after compounding the data between the class, students will have to see which genetic cross was more favorable…

eventually undergo mitosis under favorable conditions in order to produce small gametophytes which will eventually mature and produce eggs and sperm in female and male gametangia, respectively. When conditions are ideal, meaning water is present, the sperm will be released and swim to the eggs within the female gametangia in order to fertilize them (Cordle et. al. 2007). This fertilization results in a diploid zygote which is supported by the original gametophyte while it undergoes mitosis and…

Mitosis takes place in most body cells (somatic cells) and has an important role in tissue repair, growth and development hence genetic make-up must be the same for each cell. In contrast, meiosis only occurs in gonads (sex cells) and forms gametes for sexual reproduction, which requires genetic variability and only half the genetic material. The basic series of occurrences in mitosis are similar to that of those in meiosis. They both consist…

Inherited traits put growth and development into action in not only individual organisms but also the evolutions of species over time. Humans wouldn’t have evolved to who we are now if it wasn’t for inherited traits. In fact all species have adapted and evolved to be unique and distinct. For example a hummingbird that has adapted to have longer bills to be able to reach inside a flower to get nectar. Hummingbirds could die out from having short bills so they evolved throughout generations. These…

it’s results are truly amazing and beneficial to anyone who is willing to give it a try. Stem cells have the potential to divide into special cells through a process called “mitosis”. Mitosis is part of the cell cycle; it is a process where the cell nucleus is separated into two identical sets of chromosomes. Mitosis is an important…

Melanoma DUE JANUARY 4TH Compare and Contrast the cell cycle of a normal cell and cancer cell. ○ Explain the similarities and differences at each stage of the cell cycle in cancer and normal cells: How do cancer cells and normal cells behave similarly & differently in G1 In a normal cell during G1 it would increase its supply of proteins, double the amount of organelles and begin its first growth, if the cell is bad then the tumor suppressor gene would slow down or stop the cycle to repair it…

I have interacted with Nick Munene, as his Biology and class teacher, Catholic Action (CA) patron and tennis coach. He is one of the most outstanding and exceptional students I have encountered in my career as an educator. My interaction with him goes beyond high school; I have also seen him come back to his school as a peer and assistant teacher to give back to the school that “shaped me to be the person I am today”, as he is often heard saying. Nick is a thinker, a problem solver and a…

Almost every cell goes through a phase called the Cell Cycle this is where they cell grows and develops and then eventually splits into two cells. Why is this important? Well through the cell cycle it repairs damaged cells or replaces worn out cells. When you break your leg the cells work to get the bone healed or when you have a cut the cell cycle will help you by dividing cells to create a scab for your cut to heal. The cell spends most of its life in interphase, then it goes to the mitotic…

Tissue repair is a process of wound healing. It occurs in our body all the time; we just don’t take notice because it is a process not seen by the human eye. However, many magical things happen throughout our body that we cannot see. The body’s tissue repair process is one of those magical things. It is with our daily regular activities that our cells in the stratum corneum of the epidermis are shedding daily. We constantly replace our cells in this layer and lucky for us, our epithelial tissues…

Cells reproduce by replicating themselves. There are two types of reproduction, meiosis and mitosis. Meiosis is what most of us think about when considering reproduction, it is the process of sexual reproduction. There are several stages of meiosis, all with the cumulative goal of creating haploid gametes from the diploid cells. In laymen terms…
