5.2 - Mitosis and Cancer

Preview: 

Use the images passed out in class to complete this preview: 

Instructions:

1) Examine the pictures (passed out in class and shown below) of mitosis phases. Order them by placing a number by the corresponding phase: 1) Single cell interphase 2) Prophase 3) Metaphase 4) Early Anaphase 5) Late Anaphase 6) Early telophase 7) Late telophase/Beginning of cytokinesis 8) 2 daughter cell interphase.

2) Once you are confident in your order, neatly cut out all pictures and place them vertically in a single column in your notes. Tape the pictures securely in your notebook.

3) Next to each photo: name the phase. Describe WHAT CAN ACTUALLY BE SEEN IN PICTURE (chromatin/sister chromatids/chromosomes should be used in all answers). 

4) Finally, describe some features that you cannot see in the pictures but are happening during the phase. Use the notes to complete this.

- In your unit guide, simply record the letter of the photo (in order) and the phase seen in the photo.
