mitosis: the cells' great journey

GUIDE CARD I

Ola, Dora! What is our adventure today?

Ola, BOOTS! Today, we have to get this cake to Anna’s house for her party!

But before that

We have to go through

different challenges!

We will explore a cell's

wonderful journey;

the mitosis!

We have to answer the following. Map show us the way!

GUIDE CARD 2

To get to Anna’s house you have to get to the pond and answer the activity cards, then to the forest and answer the assessment card, and lastly to the rainbow bridge to answer the enrichment!

Can You Identify the Stages of Mitosis?Can You Identify the Stages of Mitosis?ACTIVITY CARD 2

Put the following mitosis stages in the correct sequence. Write the letters in the box below.

Good job! Proceed to the next!

interphase _____ (DNA is replicated) prophase _____ (chromosomes – 2 sister chromatids – shorten) metaphase ____ (sister chromatids line up) anaphase _____ (sister chromatids separate) telophase _____ (new nucleus forms at each end) cytokinesis ____ (cell contents divided between 2 daughter cells)

Say how much have you learned! Because here’s more! Wait, Dora! I’ve got

to tell them something! Here’s what happens during each stage

1.Chromosomes move to the middle of the spindle during what phase? _______________2.What are sister chromatids? When do they separate? _____________________________ ______________________________________________________________________3. During which phase do chromsomes first become visible? ________________________4. In muclticellular organisms, the cell cycle produces groups of cells that perform the same function. What are these groups of cells called? ________________________________

Study the given illustration. Answer each questions. Write your answers in your answer sheet.

ACTIVITY CARD 4

What do you need to know?

Most cells divide at some time during their life cycle, and some divide dozens of times before they die.

Mitosis, which also produces two genetically identical cells from a single cell, is used by many unicellular eukaryotic organisms for reproduction.

Multicellular organisms use mitosis for growth, cell repair, and cell replacement.

1. At which stage does mitosis actually begin?A. interphase C. prophaseB. metaphase D. anaphase

3. Which of the following lists the stages of mitosis in correct order?

A. telophase-metaphase-anaphase-prophaseB. anaphase-metaphase-prophase-telophaseC. prophase-metaphase-anaphase-telophaseD. metaphase-telophase-prophase-anaphase

2. The part of the cell cycle in which the cell goes through a process to create 2 identical daughter cells is called:

A. mitosis C. interphaseB. meiosis D. G2

Read and analyze the following questions. Write the letter of the correct answer in your answer sheet.

ASSESSMENT CARD

4. In telophase, two new cells are formed that are identical to the                 A. cell C. daughter

B. parent D. sister

5. The name of the resting state just before mitosis begins

A. metaphase C. anaphaseB. telophase D. interphase

ASSESSMENT CARD

ASSESSMENT CARD

7. Which part of the cell is involved most in cell division?A. centriole C. nucleusB. cytoplasm D. cell membrane

6. Which event occurs during interphase?A. the cell grow C. spindle fibers begin to formB. centrioles appear D. centromeres divide

8. Which of the following happens when a cell divides?A. the cell’s volume increasesB. it becomes more difficult for the cell to get enough oxygen and

nutrientsC. the cell has DNA overloadD. each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parent cell’s DNA

ASSESSMENT CARD9. What is the role of the spindle during mitosis?

A. It duplicates the DNA.B. It divides the cell in half.C. It helps separate the chromosomes.D. It breaks down the nuclear membrane.

10. During which stage of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the middle of the dividing cell?

A. interphase C. prophaseB. metaphase D. anaphase
