Aim/Focus:Chapter 2.1 Cell Division & Mitosis
H.W. do vocabulary words on page 25. Define all terms.
What does the term Mitosis mean?
What does the term Asexual Reproduction mean?
MINI LESSON: SHORT DISCUSSION
*Did you know humans grow because of cell division?
Drive discussion with example of my palm blister and the daily
progression of how it has healed----cell replacement.
Smart board viewing
Cell Cycle: Is a 5 step process where cells can duplicate themselves.
(pg.39)
1-cell grows & functions
2- DNA & Chromosomes are copied
3- Prepare for mitosis ;
4- Mitosis occurs
5- Cytoplasm divide

Interphase- is the first 3 steps in the cell cycle when the cell is growing
and developing. After the interphase occurs cell division begins where
the nucleus divides and 2 new cells form.
*Mitosis comes from the Greek word meaning Thread.

Mitosis- Is the process where the nucleus divides to form 2 identical

nuclei. (4 steps of mitosis)PMAT
1-Prophase
2- Metaphase
3- Anaphase
4- Telophase

Chromosomes- is a structure in the nucleus that contains hereditary

information. During interphase chromosomes duplicate. (every human
has 23 pairs or 46 in total)
Asexual reproduction- The process of reproducing without a second organism
being involved. The organism will reproduce another replica of its self.
Budding- This form of cell division is when a new organism grows from the
parent organism in another form of asexual reproduction. When the bud is large
enough it breaks off and lives on its own.
Regeneration- is the process that uses cell division to regrow body parts. If a
starfish was to loose one of its arms it would regrow over a period of time
through regeneration.
Meiosis: This process produces haploid sex cells.

Chapter 2.2 Sexual Reproduction:

Aim/Focus: How does fertilization occur in sexual reproduction? Which cells are
involved in fertilization?
Sexual reproduction: 2 sex cells called an EGG & SPERM come together from
reproductive organs.
Sperm- Is the sex cell formed in the male reproductive organs.
Egg- Is the sex cell formed in the female reproductive organs.
Reproduction- is the process when the egg and the sperm unite as one. When this
occurs a new cell is formed called the ZYGOTE.
Diploid- This term refers to when chromosome are in pairs. (humans=23 pairs46)
Haploid- When sex cells do not have paired chromosomes. Sex cells have 23
chromosomes, one from each paired set of chromosomes.

Directions: Using Chapter 2 section 1 answer the following questions.

1. How long does it take for a cell cycle to be completed in a bean plant_________ and

DNA

Aim/Focus: How can we identify the parts of a DNA molecule and its structure?
*Did you know that DNA determines nearly everything your body is and does?
DNA: The chemical makeup from an organism which contains information stored in the cells.
Mutations: Is a mistake that happens when DNA is not copied correctly. Ex: such as an extra
chromosome =Downe Syndrome
1. A ____________________ is a structure in the nucleus that contains hereditary material.
2. How many chromosomes does the normal human being have?_________________
3. The chromosomes in a nucleus of a cell contain a code known as _______________
What is DNA?
A cell uses a code that contains information for an organisms growth and function. It is stored
in a cells hereditary material. The code is a chemical called DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC acid..DNA.
When a cell divides (mitosis PMAT) the DNA code is copied and passed to the new cell. New
cells get the same DNA code that was in the original cell. Every cell that has ever been formed
in your body, both Diploid body cells and Haploid sex cells, has DNA.
The rungsof the DNA ladder are made up of molecules called nitrogen bases. The four Nitrogen
bases found in DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. These nitrogen bases
ALWAYS operate in the same pairs Adenine with Thymine and Guanine with Cytosine. One
good way to remember this important fact is to remember the acronym AT Glenn Cove.
The way DNA is copied is very similar to the Anaphase step in Mitosis. The DNA strands are
winded together to start. As the process of copying unfolds, the two DNA strands slowly
unwind and separate. A new strand forms and the new nitrogen bases pair with the original,
forming a full DNA molecule. The same process happens for the 2 nd DNA strand also. Two
brand new DNA molecules have now been produced!
.So REMEMBER..
DNA is made up of 4 Nitrogen bases. They ALWAYS work in pairs with each other.

ADENINE and THYMINE are always paired together.

GUANINE and CYTOSINE are always paired together.
A good way to remember these pairs is reference the acronym AT Glenn Cove

Why is cell division important?
All living things are made up of ____________. Many organisms start as one cell. The cell ___________
and becomes two cells. Through the process of cell division, the organism grows. _________________
is the first step in cell division. Mitosis is the __________________ in which the cells nucleus divides to
form _____________________. Each new nucleus is _____________________ to the original nucleus.
The steps of mitosis are called ________________, _________________, ________________ and
___________________________. Cell division allows growth and ______________________worn out
or damaged cells. If you cut yourself, the wound heals because cell division replaces the

blood to target tissues in your body.
Hormones: Are chemical messages found throughout the body.
Glands in your body send these chemicals to target tissues within the body.
Glands have many functions in your body which include: a-growth & development
b- circulation c- digestion d- absorbing food etc.
Important Glands in our Body:
12345-

Pineal gland- produces chemicals that aid in our sleep and wake patterns.
Pituitary gland- produces hormones used for growth and reproduction.
Thymus- produce hormones to fight infection fighting cells.
Thyroid- Controls metabolism, bones etc
Adrenal- controls blood sugar levels and physical and emotional stress.

Chapter 6.2 Reproduction system:

Sexual Hormones in the body are important in the formation of facial hair in
males, breast development in females, egg development in females, sperm in
males.
Testes: produce testosterone in the male sex organ along with sperm.
Ovaries: female sex organ where eggs are produced in a female during puberty.
