Lab 3 Mitosis and Meiosis BIO201L
Student Name:
Access Code (located on the lid of your lab kit):
Pre-Lab Questions
1. What are chromosomes made of?
2. Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis.
3. Cancer is a disease related to uncontrolled cell division. Investigate two known causes for these rapidly dividing cells and use this knowledge to invent a drug that would inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Experiment 2: Tracking Chromosomes Through Mitosis
Once you have completed the digital exercise, select the Results Table button at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen and select the Generate PDF button at the top of the following screen. Insert your download into this document by selecting the Insert > Object > Text from file. Resize if necessary.
Post-Lab Questions
1. How many chromosomes were present before mitosis?
Click here to enter text.
1. How many chromosomes did each of the daughter cells contain after mitosis?
Click here to enter text.
1. Cite an example of a type of cell that undergoes mitosis. Why is it important for each daughter cell to contain information identical to the parent cell?
Click here to enter text.
1. Human skin cells divide at a higher rate than neurons (nerve cells). Hypothesize why this may be.
Click here to enter text.
1. Hypothesize what would happen if the sister chromatids did not split equally during anaphase of mitosis.

Parts 2, 3, and 4: Once you have completed the digital exercise, select the View Data Table button at the bottom left-hand corner of the home screen. Review your table. If you would like to make any changes, select the Return button in the bottom right-hand corner. If you are satisfied with your answers, take a screenshot and insert it below. Resize if necessary:
Post-Lab Questions
How did crossing over affect the genetic content in the gametes? Use your results to support your answer.
Click here to enter text.
What is the ploidy of the daughter cells at the end of meiosis I? What about at the end of meiosis II?
Click here to enter text.
List two differences between meiosis I and meiosis II.
Click here to enter text.
Based on your observations in the digital exercise, what can you conclude about the severity of nondisjunction that occurs in meiosis I as opposed to meiosis II?
Click here to enter text.
Why is it necessary to reduce the number of chromosomes in gametes, but not in other cells?
Click here to enter text.
Blue whales have 44 chromosomes in every cell. Determine how many chromosomes you would expect to find in the following:

Post-Lab Questions
1. Record your hypothesis from Step 1 in the Procedure section here.
Click here to enter text.
2. What do your results indicate about cell cycle control?
Click here to enter text.
3. Suppose a person developed a mutation in a somatic cell which diminishes the performance of the bodys natural cell cycle control proteins. This mutation resulted in cancer yet, but was effectively treated with a cocktail of cancer-fighting techniques. Is it possible for this persons future children to inherit this cancer-causing mutation? Be specific when you explain why or why not.

4. Why do cells which lack cell cycle control exhibit karyotypes which look physically different than cells with normal cell cycle.
Click here to enter text.
5. What are HeLa cells? Why are HeLa cells appropriate for this experiment?
Click here to enter text.
6. Research the function of the protein called p53. What does this function do? Explain how it can affect cell cycle control.
Click here to enter text.
7. What is the Philadelphia chromosome? How is this chromosome related to cancer? Identify how this chromosome appears physically different on a karyotype than it appears on a karyotype of normal chromosomes.
