1. Mitosis is done by your body cells. This cartoon illustrates an exception. What types of cells do not undergo mitosis? 2. Describe how mitosis is important for your body. 3. This illustration is trying to demonstrate something that mitosis is not. In mitosis, the cells that are created are identical 6. Mitosis starts and ends with diploid cells. That means they have two sets of chromosomes (both parents each contribute a set). In humans, how many chromosomes should be in each of these diploid cells after mitosis? Growth, Repair, Replace, NOT reproduce Sperm and egg cells (gametes) RBC, CNS, 4. Mitosis is just one small part of the cell cycle! Describe what would occur if cells were in mitosis more than they were in interphase. Cancer, tumor, uncontrolled cell growth 5. When cells are dividing, it is important to understand that they have to move chromosomes equally to both cells. Based on this illustration, describe what a chromosome is made of. DNA and Protein 46 Sketch the Mitotic Stages Directions: We encourage you to be creative with a cartoon illustration of your own for each phase. Label the chromosomes, spindles, and nucleus (if applicable). Prophase no nucleus Metaphase chromosomes spindles Anaphase Telophase No more specific fibers
