1. Why do living things grow?

2. Cell division occurs in all organisms

3. Cell Division has many functions
Growth
Development
Repair
Reproduction

4. Describe how the number of cells in the organism changes as the organism grows.
Growth

5. Development

6. Give three examples of specialized cells
Development

7. What role does cell division play in healing the body?
Repair

8. Summarize
Process: Create a comic strip showing cell division involved in growth, development, and repair.

9. Why don’t adults look like six feet tall babies?
Vocab Words: Mitosis, Chromosomes, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase.

10. What is your pneumonic for PMAT
What is your pneumonic for PMAT? Why does it make it easier for you to remember the stages of Mitosis?
Vocab words: Centriole, Centromere, Spindle Fibers, Cytokenisis, Interphase, nuclear membrane, chromatid,

11. What is the difference between a chromatid and chromosome?

14. Mitosis is the part of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides.
The function of mitosis is to move the DNA and other materials in the parent cell into position for cell division.

15. Cytokinesis: the division of the parent cell's cytoplasm.
Cytokinesis occurs immediately after mitosis.

16. Chromosomes are the DNA wrapped up into nice tight structure.

17. Steps of Mitosis
Chromosomes form: Prophase
Chromosomes line up: Metaphase
Chromosomes separate: Anaphase
Nuclei form: Telophase
Cytokinesis
