Mon Sept 14: Please review our continued notes and discussion of Topic A - The Cell Cycle. We then discussed key events in each of the stages accompanied with a sketch of the cell in that stage: (1) interphase (G1, S & G2), (2) mitosis (a) prophase, (b) metaphase, (c) anaphase, (d) telophase. (3) cytokinesis. Note the difference between cytokinesis in animal cells (cleavage furrow) and cytokinesis in plant cells (cell plate). Students viewed onion cells online to assist with identification of each stage....to be continued.
Assign 1 - The Cell Cycle
You must complete these sample questions.
Remember that questions for in-class assignments come from here!
Fri Sept 11: Please review our continued notes and discussion of Topic A - The Cell Cycle. Note cells involved (somatic), cells produced (somatic) and the overall steps of the process: (1) interphase - getting ready to divide, (2) mitosis - genetic division and (3) cytokinesis - division of the cytoplasm. We then discussed key events in each of the stages accompanied with a sketch of the cell in that stage: (1) interphase (G1, S & G2). We completed a pie graph exploring the time a cell spends in each stage....to be continued.
Thurs Sept 10: Welcome to Biology 3201. I am looking forward to working with you throughout the year. This was an introductory class. We distributed course descriptors and explained how you will be evaluated in this course. The Google Classroom Code was provided and this electronic classroom will display all course content and is where assignments, quizzes and test dates will be posted. We introduced Unit 1 - Cell Reproduction and the Continuity of Life. Topic A is the Cell Cycle. Be familiar with the purpose of the Cell Cycle in both unicellular and multicellular organisms. Note the cells involved in this process (somatic cells / body cells)...to be continued.
