In the tracking chromosomal DNA movement through mitosis experiment, how many chromosomes did each of your daughter cells contain? Why is it important for each daughter cell to contain information identical to the parent cell? How often do human skin cells divide? Why might that be? Compare this rate to how frequently human neurons divide. What do you notice?
One important biological effect of a large dose of ionizing radiation (like X-rays) is to halt cell division.
How does this occur? To answer this question, state the name and role of 2 specific and important proteins involved in the process.
What happens if a cell has a mutation that prevents it from halting cell division after be irradiated? Be specific and detailed.
An adult human who has reached maturity will die within a few days of receiving a radiation dose large enough to stop cell division. What does that tell you about cell division? In addition, name 2 different/unique cell types that would be primarily affected.
The continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA. How does the process of mitosis faithfully parcel out exact copies of this heritable information in the production of genetically identical daughter cells?
