Biology Chapter 8 the Cellular Reproduction and Inheritance

According to the data table, prophase is the longest stage of mitosis. Even though there were more tallies in the interphase section, interphase is not considered a stage of the mitotic cycle; it is more or less considered a stage in the cell cycle. Telophase is the shortest stage because there were very few cells that showed evidence of them actually being in this stage. Metaphase and anaphase are intermediate stages, with metaphase being longer than anaphase.

c) Why are there two sets of phases during meiosis, but only one during mitosis? Think about what is different about meiosis and mitosis. (1 point)

2. In which phases of mitosis are sister chromatids visible, and attached to each other at the centromere?

Although mitosis is just a fraction of time compared to interphase it can be divided into four distinct subphases. If we start viewing a cell under a brightfield microscope right at the end of interphase subphase G2 we would see that throughout the interphase process (fig 1) the cell has grown considerably in size due to production of extra mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. The cell has also gone through the labor of duplicating all of its chromosomes, a process known as DNA synthesis. Now that the cell has made all of these preparations it's time to start prophase (fig 2), the first stage of the mitotic phase. This stage is visibly identified by the chromatin becoming the tightly formed chromosomes. During the lab we were able to view these newly formed chromosomes best on the onion root tip

The cell cycle is a series of stages that occurs when a new cells makes the division from the parent cell to two daughter cells. This is a stage in cellular reproduction. The cell cycle consists of three phases, interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. During Interphase, a cell will continue to perform its functions as usual. The time frame for Interphase varies; while an embryonic cell will take just a few hours to complete the cycle, a stem cell from an adult can take 24 hours (Mader, Windelspecht, 2015). After the interphase stage completes itself, a complete nuclear division happens and mitosis occurs. During the stage of mitosis, the daughter cells will receive the same amounts of the contents of the parent cell. Throughout the last stage, in the cytoplasm there is a division known as Cytokinesis (Mader, Windelspecht, 2015). Cytokinesis occurs differently in plant cells than it does in animal cells, as the cell wall around the plant prevents the process from happening the same way. Instead, a new plasma membrane and cell walls are built are built between the daughter cells. However, in animal cells a single cell will become two (Mader, Windelspecht, 2015).

Mitosis is the fourth stage of the cell cycle. It includes two phases mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is the division of the cell's nucleus and all it’s contents. Cytokinesis is the process that divides the cell’s cytoplasm. The stages of the cell cycle and the proteins are all alike in all

The top of the tip was covered with a cover slip and carefully pressed down to crush the tip. The crush tips were washed by the stain and excess stain were cleaned using tissue. The cells were then observed under light microscope and counted for every phases of mitosis. The data obtained were recorded and tabulated.

Cell proliferation is defined as an increased in the cell population. Proliferation is important when observing normal cell growth. The cells grow and divide into identical cells using the cell cycle and this process is known as cell division. There are two phases of cell division which are interphase and mitosis. Interphase has three main phases and each phase has a different process and function. These three parts are known as G1, S, and G2. In the G1 phase cell growth is initiated and it is also the phase that is responsible for protein synthesis and ribonucleic acid production (a ). The next phase is the S phase which is also known as the synthesis phase and it is where the DNA is replicated. Final step of the interphase is the G2 phase which deals with cell growth and prepares for cell division. Mitosis is the process that come after all the phases of

A. A cell will pass on its DNA sequence onto other cells through mitosis. Mitosis is cell division where the nucleus containing chromosomes are divided (evenly) between two cells. When the phases during mitosis are complete, two daughter cells are produced containing identical genetic makeup from the founding cell. The most significant phase would be interphase, where it is made of three sub-stages. First is G1 phase, where the cell gains mass to prepare for cell division. Second is S phase, where semi conservative DNA replication occurs. One strand of DNA is used as a template, (after being unwound and unzipped by helicase) whilst the DNA polymerase reads the strand in order to connect the corresponding bases. Ligase then ‘zips’ the original strand and new strand together. During G2 phase, replication is nearly complete and the mass continues to grow in size to prepare for division. Interphase is key as it allows for the two (strands) identical copies of the

Prophase; Chromatic condense into chromosomes, which are sister chromatids at this point. The mitotic spindles form. In animal cells, centrioles will move to opposite ends of the cell. The nuclear structures and membranse break apart.

The process of mitosis is a fascinating process which occurs when a cell needs to split into two child cells. The process happens all the time as we grow, get injured, and need cells to repair our body, or just to replace cells that have died.

After the division of nuclear membrane following duplicated chromosome segregation, in eukaryotic cell division, cytokinesis is carried out to divide a single cell into two daughter cells25. The process begins with the construction of a cleavage furrow intervened with actomyosin ring contraction3. The spindle midzone formed during anaphase gets transformed into intercellular bridge also known as the midbody responsible for connecting two new forming cells26. This midbody comprises of arrays of antiparallel microtubules meeting at Flemming body, which is responsible for providing anchor to the intervening cleavage furrow. Next to this, the midbody is severed during cell abscission which is
