 Identify and restate what the phases of the eukaryotic cell cycle are.  Restate what happens in each stage of the cycle.

 Cell cycle  Interphase  Mitosis  Cytokinesis

 Cell are the basic unit of structure and function for life.  Once life is established, its existence is on a clock, winding down.  Eventually, all cells meet their demise.  There has to be a mechanism to keep cells persisting in nature however.  Reproduction is one mechanism.  Cell division is the most basic form.  This is what your next unit is about.

 You will learn that a cell does a lot throughout its life.  Makes proteins, duplicates its DNA, lives.  You will also learn that a cell goes through division for three main reasons: › To replace old or… › To repair damaged tissue or… › To allow an organism to grow.  This process of cell division doesn’t happen randomly as you can expect.  It is highly regulated, cyclical, and has distinct features.  As such, there are five main stages of the cell cycle during a cell’s life that you must know, during each of which specific things happen.

 These stages of a cell’s life make up what is called the cell cycle.  The cell cycle is a repeating sequence of cellular growth and division during the life of a cell.  Your job today is to discover what these five stages are and identify the main process that happens during each of these stages.

 Work in pairs.  1 book per pair.  Work with books in partners.

Cell Cycle  Illustrate the cell cycle on a piece of copy paper. These will go into your notebooks but will be for a grade. Check them off with me for credit.  Use the drawing on page ______ (Cell Cycle) as your basis for your poster. Use the pages of the book to help describe the steps.  Each Step of the cell cycle must be correctly described and illustrated on your poster.  For each step you must include at least 3 bullet points describing the step and 1 drawing.  For Synthesis you must describe the purpose of replication.  For Mitosis you must label the goal.  Use color and check your grammar. 125
