Mitosis

Objectives:
 * 1) Identify important reasons for mitosis
 * 2) Determine how the cells go through mitosis

Step 1 : Go to [|www.educanon.com/listcode/106383/p52e05] Answer the following questions on your worksheet
 * 1) What are the main two reasons for mitosis?
 * 2) What are the only cells that do mitosis?
 * 3) What is special about the cells mitosis makes and why is this important?
 * 4) What molecule in cells needs to be the same in order for the cells to be identical?
 * 5) What are chromosomes and how many do humans have?
 * 6) Before a cell goes through mitosis what does it have to do to its chromosomes and why?
 * 7) After the chromosomes are formed and duplicated where do they line up in the cell?
 * 8) Where do the chromosomes move next?
 * 9) What is the final result of mitosis?

Step 2: Go to [] Answer the following questions on your worksheet 10. Where do the chromosome move next? 11. Click the arrow 12. Click the arrow 13. Draw and color the two new cells below
 * 1) Draw and color the first cell you see below
 * 2) How many chromosomes are there?
 * 3) Click the arrow
 * 4) What is the first step of mitosis?
 * 5) Click the arrow
 * 6) Draw and color this cell and describe it in words
 * 7) Click the arrow
 * 8) Where do the chromosomes move in the cell after they double?
 * 9) Click the arrow

= Step 3 = Summarize mitosis with a partner. Include the following in your summary:


 * 1) Why is mitosis important?
 * 2) How many cells does mitosis make?
 * 3) What are similarities between the new cells and the original cell?
 * 4) What are similarities between the each of the new cells?
 * 5) What are the main steps that allow mitosis to happen?

=Step 4= Design a model
 * 1) The model should have moveable pieces to show the process of mitosis
 * 2) The model can be made out of any craft supplies you desire
 * 3) The model should show the original cell, the final cells, and basic steps to get from the original cell to the final cell
 * 4) You can choose to use as many chromosomes as you desire as long as it is over 2
