Cell Cycle: Mitosis Lecture Materials

These are the Cell Cycle: Mitosis Lecture materials of the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual college cell biology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.

The Mitosis Lecture materials include:

a list of learning objectives

a PowerPoint lecture

a homework assignment

"class note" articles

practice test questions

review questions

links to additional educational resources

MITOSIS LECTURE LEARNING OBJECTIVES

These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VCBC Cell Cycle: Mitosis Lecture PowerPoint:

What is the relationship between replication and mitosis?

What are the two main phases of the cell cycle?

What are the stages of mitosis, and what happens at each phase?

If DNA is condensed into chromosomes, is the cell in interphase or mitosis?

If the DNA is condensed into chromosomes, can replication, transcription and translation occur?

If the DNA is not condensed, if it is in the form of chromatin, is the cell in interphase or mitosis?

If a cell has a total of 6 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each of its daughter cells have?

What is cytokinesis and when does it occur?

How does cytokinesis of a plant and animal cell differ?

What are homologous chromosomes? What does a pair of unduplicated homologues look like?

Explain the difference between duplicated and homologous chromosomes.

Explain the difference between chromosomes and sister chromatids?

How do homologues and sister chromatids differ?

MITOSIS LECTURE POWERPOINT

All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom have fill-in-the-blanks on many of the slides to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation. Instructors, contact us for the information that goes in the blanks.

HELPFUL TIPS: Some of the PowerPoint presentations are large files and may take a few moments to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. If you are printing a hard copy of the PowerPoint, you can save paper by selecting Handouts (rather than Slides) in the "Print What:" drop down menu of the PPT print screen. Then you can choose the number of slides you want to have on each printed page. If the printed PPT presentation is to be used as student notes, it is best to choose handouts with 2 or 3 slides per page.

MITOSIS IN-CLASS HOMEWORK

Word document of an in-class activity given to students at the end of lecture. This tool helps the students review the main messages of the lecture while allowing the instructor to assess the class' understanding of the material. Click here to see a Photo Guide of the Mitosis Classroom Activity.

MITOSIS CLASS NOTES

Here are brief summaries of some of the various subtopics and concepts introduced in this lecture, kind of like really good class notes.

Genetics Terminology: Chromosomes & Sister Chromatids

Genetic Terminology: Duplicated & Homologous Chromosomes

Cell Division: Binary Fission, Mitosis & Meiosis

Cell Division: What Is Mitosis?

MITOSIS PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS

Practice test questions designed to help you better understand the material from this lecture. They are based on information in the Cell Cycle: Mitosis PowerPoint Lecture.

MITOSIS REVIEW QUESTIONS

Questions designed to help you review the material in the Cell Cycle: Mitosis Lecture.
