Vocabulary List: cell cycle, mitosis, cytokinesis, chromosome, DNA, sister chromatid, chromatin, centromere, nuclear membrane, spindle (microtubules), and centrosomes.

set up a mock cell in the G1 phase.

1. Draw or add a photo of your model to show the pairs of UNREPLICATED homologous chromosomes. Label one color “from mom” the other color “from dad”. Are there sister chromatids? Explain.

[Insert labeled and explained G1 phase photo/drawing here]

2. Change the mock cell so that it models the end of S phase.

Draw or take a photo of your model to show a pair of REPLICATED homologous chromosomes. Label at least one centromere. Are there sister chromatids? Explain.

[Insert labeled S phase photo/drawing here]

3. Go online and find a microscope image of prophase.  

Change your mock cell so that it models prophase as shown in the microscopic image.

Draw or take a photo of your model to the prophase cell. Why is it hard to distinguish chromosomes? Explain. Is the DNA in this cell already replicated?

4. Go online and find a microscope image of metaphase.  

Change your mock cell so that it models metaphase as shown in the microscopic image.

Draw or take a photo of your model to the metaphase cell. Described how your model differs from the microscopic image you found online. How many chromosomes are in this metaphase cell? Explain.

5.Go online and find a microscope image of anaphase.  

Change your mock cell so that it models anaphase as shown in the microscopic image.

Draw or take a photo of your model to the anaphase cell. Label: chromosome, spindle, and centrosomes in your photo/drawing. How many chromosomes are in this anaphase cell? Explain.

[Insert labeled anaphase photo/drawing here]

6. Go online and find a microscope image of telophase/cytokinesis.  

Change your mock cell so that it models telophase/cytokinesis as shown in the microscopic image.

Draw or take a photo of your model to the telophase/cytokinesis cell. Label: chromosomes/chromatin, nuclear membranes, and centrosomes in your photo/drawing. How many chromosomes are in this telophase/cytokinesis cell? Explain.
