Cells and Heredity

Please get a new bell work sheet. Write Complete Sentences1. What are you and every other

living thing made of?

2. Where do cells come from?

3. How does a cell know how to function and reproduce?

cell cycle (p.80) – The normal sequence of growth, maintenance, and division in a cell.

interphase (p.81) – The period in the cell cycle in which a cell grows, maintains itself, and prepares for division.

mitosis (p.81) – The phase in the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides.

cytokinesis (p.81) – The division of a parent cell’s cytoplasm following mitosis.

1. Cell grows and carries out normal functions; organelles duplicate.

2. DNA replicates1. Loose strands of DNA in the cell2. DNA wraps around proteins3. DNA replicates in the nucleus

3. Cell grows and prepares for mitosis.

Consider the muscle tissue in your body. What ingredients and processes formed it? How did it become a muscle?

1. DNA continues to condense as it wraps around proteins.

2. Strands of DNA condense to distinct chromosomes, each with two chromatids that are exact copies of each other.

3. The nuclear membrane disappears.

PROPHASE

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

METAPHASE

Bell Work 9/15/10

1. What are the three stages of the cell cycle?

(please list them in order)

2. What are the first two stages of mitosis?

3. What is the name given to the cell that is preparing for cell division?

4. What is the name given to the cells after cell division occurs?

1. Chromatids of each chromosome split into two separate chromosomes.

2. Separated chromosomes pull to the opposite ends of the cell.

ANAPHASE

New nuclear membranes form

TELOPHASE

Cell pinches and divides.

CYTOKINESIS

BELL WORK 9/16/10

List all of the stages of the cell cycle in order, including all of the stages of Mitosis and draw a small picture of each.

Mitosis Model1. Separate your paper into 6 separate

sections.2. Make a model for each stage of the

cell cycle, refer to bell work or foldable/PP.

3. Use arrows or numbers to represent the correct order of the stages.

4. Make an acronym, song, or rap for the stages of the cell cycle.

2. Van Leeuwenhoek was one of the first people to see live cells by using a ______

3. A plant cell organelle that uses energy from sunlight to make sugar is called a ________

Vocabulary 3.3

Asexual reproduction – the process by which a single organism produces offspring that have the same genetic material

Binary fission – a form of asexual reproduction by which some single-celled organisms reproduce. Prokaryotes such as bacteria reproduce by binary fission

Regeneration – in some organisms, the process by which certain cells produce new tissue growth at the site of a wound or lost limb; also a form of asexual reproduction

Types of Asexual ReproductionBinary fission

occurs in prokaryotes parent organism splits in two

Budding both unicellular and multicellular organisms Organism develops tiny buds on its body that contain

parent’s DNA The bud grows until it forms a complete or nearly

complete organism genetically identical to the parent and then breaks off from the parent

Regeneration Occurs in starfish and plants Part of the organism is cut off and another organism

is reproduced
