Ap Biology Lab: Meiosis And Mitosis

Mitosis and Meiosis
{draw:frame}
Period: 1
Research:
Problem:
      How much of each stage of mitosis will be able to find on each slide?     -How much of each stage of meiosis will we be able to find on the slides?
Hypothesis:
If we count the amount of different stages present then, the anaphase will show up more since it takes up less time.

1.)
2.) Cytokinesis is the process whereby the cytoplasm of a single cell is divided to spawn two daughter cells. It usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, and sometimes meiosis, splitting a binucleate cell in two, to ensure that chromosome number is maintained from one generation to the next. In animal cells, one notable exception to the normal process of cytokinesis is cogenesis (the creation of an ovum in the ovarian follicle of the ovary), where the ovum takes almost all the cytoplasm and organelles, leaving very little for the resulting polar bodies, which then die. In plant cells, a dividing structure known as the cell plate forms across the centre of the cytoplasm and a new cell wall forms between the two daughter cells.
3.) C.) Cytokinesis
4.)
5.) Having variation among the offspring makes it more likely that some members of the population will survive when the environment changes. If they were all alike, they'd either all survive or all die. Variability is the "raw material" for adaptation and evolution.
6.) Somatic Cells- are any cells forming the body of an organism, as opposed to germline cells. In mammals, germline cells are the spermatozoa and ova which fuse during fertilization to produce a cell called a zygote, from which the entire mammalian embryo develops. Every other cell type in the mammalian body apart from the sperm and ova, the cells from which they are made and undifferentiated stem cells is a somatic cell: internal organs, skin, bones, blood, and connective tissue are all made up of somatic cells.
Germ Cells- are progenitors of the...
