II Observing Chromosomes Mitosis and Cytokinesis in Animal Cells In this exercise you will observe chromosomes and the stages of mitotic division in whitefish blastula cells You will also compare these chromosomes with the plant chromosomes studied in Exercise III Chromosome structure in animals and plants is basically the same in that both have centromeres and arms However plant chromosomes are generally larger than animal chromosomes Interphase Mitosis Prophase Mitosis Metaphase Mitosis Anaphase Mitosis Telophase Cytokinesis 1

Part B Melosis I Modeling Meiosis Draw out meiosis for a 2n 6 cell Do not draw crossing over recombination Meiosis I Prophase I Each chromosome is duplicated forming a tetrad Crossing over occurs Metaphase I The tetrad aligns in the center of the cell Anaphase I The homologous chromosomes split up Telophase I Sister chromatids reach separate poles Cytokinesis Cell division forms two cells Meiosis II Prophase II Chromosomes move to middle of the cell Metaphase II The sister chromatids align in the center of the cell Anaphase II The sister chromatids are split up Telophase II One chromatic reaches each cellular pole Cytokinesis Cell division of each of the two cells from Meiosis I results in four total haploid cells

1 Look at prepared slides Observing Mitosis and Cytokinesis in Plan Cells The root tip of plants is an area of rapid cell division Using the microscopes available in the lab examine an Allium Onion Root Tip slide to see cells undergoing mitosis You will probably want to start by examining your slide at 40x magnification then 100x and 400x Find cells that are in each of the following cellular stages and sketch what they look like You will probably want to examine cells at 400x magnification for this exercise Interphase Mitosis Prophase Mitosis Metaphase Mitosis Anaphase Mitosis Telophase Cytokinesis 1

I Definitions Using your textbook define each of the following cellular stages of interphase mitosis and cytokinesis and describe the appearance of the cell and what is happening to the cellular DNA at each stage 1 Interphase II Mitosis A Prophase B Metaphase c Anaphase D Telophase III Cytokinesis Laboratory Objectives After completing this lab topic you should be able to 1 Describe the activities of chromosomes and microtubules in the cell cycle including all phases of mitosis and meiosis 2 Identify the phases of mitosis in root tip and whitefish blastula cells 4 Describe differences in mitosis and cytokinesis in plant and animal cells 5 Describe differences in mitosis and meiosis Introduction The nuclei in cells of eukaryotic organisms contain chromosomes with clusters of genes discrete units of hereditary information consisting of double stranded deoxyribonucleic acid DNA Structural proteins in the chromosomes organize the DNA and participate in DNA folding and condensation When cells divide chromosomes and genes are duplicated and passed on to daughter cells Single celled organisms divide for reproduction Multicellular organisms have reproductive cells eggs or sperm but they also have somatic body cells that divide for growth or
