Objectives
• To describe the events that occur in the cell cycle
• To differentiate phases of the cell cycle interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (including cytokinesis)
• To explain how mitosis results in the transmission of chromosomes from one generation to the next
• To calculate the percentage of cells in different stages of mitosis and the approximate time of these stages
• To analyze the effect of lectin protein on mitosis
• To interpret micrographs of onion root cuttings to identify cells in different phases of mitosis
• To use a model that illustrates cell division and differentiation.
• To perform chi-square test for hypothesis testing and explain the effect of lectin on mitosis
