Cell Reproduction

STANDARD 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE CELL CYCLE
A. Explain the purpose of the cell cycle 
B. Distinguish between the two pain parts of the cell cycle (Interphase and the Mitotic phase) and describe each of the sub-phases found within each of these two main parts
C. Given a diagram, sequence and label the stages of the cell cycle
D. Compare data of the time needed for normal cells to complete the cell cycle with that of abnormal cancer cells.

STANDARD 3: CHROMOSOMES, KARYOTYPES AND TYPES OF CELLS
A.  Using a diagram, identify and explain the difference between the parts of a chromosome: chromatin, chromatid, centromere, DNA
B. Explain the purpose of a karyotype
C. Correctly read a normal karyotype of both somatic cells and gametes, and distinguish between autosomes and sex chromosomes in each of these karyotypes.
D. Given an exemplar cell, identify whether it is a somatic cell or a gamete, haploid or diploid and calculate the number of chromosomes found in each.
E. Identify chromosomal mutations in karyotypes

STANDARD 4: THE MITOTIC PHASE (Mitosis and Cytokinesis)
 
A. Using a diagram, label each of the phases of cell division and the structures that are involved during each phase.
B. Identify the major events that occur during each phase of mitosis
C. Explain and diagram how cytokinesis differs in plant and animal cells
STANDARD 5: TYPES OF REPRODUCTION
