Unit 6 Cell Division

Cellular Division Standards / Objectives

Bio.1.2 Analyze the cell as a living system

Bio.1.2.2 Analyze how cells grow and reproduce in terms of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis

    • Outline the cell cycle - Growth 1, Synthesis, Growth 2, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis

    • Recognize mitosis as a part of asexual reproduction

    • Organize diagrams of mitotic phases and describe what is occurring throughout the process

Bio.3.2 Understand how the environment, and/or the interaction of alleles, influences the expression of genetic traits

Bio.3.2.1 Explain the role of meiosis in sexual reproduction and genetic variation

    • Infer the importance of genes being on separate chromosomes as it relates to meiosis

    • Explain how the process of meiosis leads to independent assortment and genetic diversity
