Modeling Cell Division

Name:__________________________________Class:_________

1.                  List the stages of Mitosis:

2.                  Identify the stages of the cell cycle that are not part of Mitosis

3.                  Identify the silly sentence that should help you remember the stages of the cell cycle.

4.                  The strands of colored “wax sticks” represent genetic material in the cell.  How does this material appear in the cell during “Interphase”?

5.                  What happens to the strands of genetic material during “Prophase and Metaphase”?

6.                  What has happened to the genetic material by the time they reach “Anaphase”?

7.                  What has happened to the genetic material by the time they reach “Telophase”?

8.                  Describe the genetic material inside each of the circles during “Cytokinesis”.  How does the genetic material in each circle compare to each other?    How does the genetic material in each circle compare to the “Parent cell”?
