Chapter 10 Outline
Cell Reproduction: Mitosis
The general functions of cell division precedes coverage
of the cell cycle before the stages of mitosis are reviewed. How
prokaryotes divide is also included.
Chapter Outline
In this chapter outline, the learning objectives
and the selected key terms are given for each major head in the
chapter.
Cell Division Occurs in All Organisms (p. 158)
1. Relate cell division to the reproduction of unicellular organisms and the growth and repair of multicellular organisms.
2. Name two general functions of cell division.
3. Describe a duplicated eukaryotic chromosome.
Selected Key Terms: chromosome, chromatin, diploid (2n) number, haploid (n) number, cytokinesis, mitosis, sister chromatid, centromere
How Eukaryotic Cells Cycle (p. 160)
4. State the stages of the cell cycle, and describe what happens during each stage.
5. Describe how the cell cycle is believed to be controlled, and relate this mechanism to the development of cancer.
interphase, kinase, cyclin
How Eukaryotic Cells Divide (p. 162)
6. Draw a series of diagrams illustrating the phases of mitosis in animal cells, and tell what happens during each phase; describe cytokinesis in animal cells.
7. State at least one difference between plant and animal cell mitosis; describe cytokinesis in plant cells.
spindle, centrosome, centriole, aster, cell plate
How Prokaryotes Reproduce (p. 166)
8. Describe the prokaryotic chromosome and the process of binary fission.
