MODELING MITOSIS QUESTIONS
1. What is the chromosome number (how many chromosomes) of your
parent
cell?
2. What is the chromosome number of each daughter cell?
3. During which phase is DNA replicated?
3. Are the two sets of chromosomes (separated chromatids) moving
toward
opposite poles in anaphase, identical or not identical?
4. Does the parent cell still exist? Why or why not?
5. Are the daughter cells genetically identical to one
another?
6. Are the daughter cells genetically identical to the parent
cell?
7. Do the daughter cells now have single or duplicated
chromosomes?
8. If cells double in number at each division, and we are
constantly dividing,
why do we not keep growing bigger and bigger throughout our
lifetime?
9. Starting with the single cell (zygote) from which we all
came, how many
cells would a new embryo have after 5 mitosis divisions of every
cell
(every daughter cell divides each round)?
