Review

Let's review!!

Your exam is in a week (3/19). The following concepts will be fair game:

Cell Growth and Division
       Stages (what is characteristic of each stage?)
                 G1, S, G2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
                
       Mitosis
                 Prophase
                 Metaphase
                 Anaphase
                 Telophase
                 
                 What is interphase? and where does it fit in with Mitosis?

       Meiosis
                  Meiosis I, Meiosis II
                  Stages of Meiosis
                  What is the final product of meiosis? (describe and give a quantity, please)

Be prepared for questions such as:

          Humans all have 23 pairs of chromosomes (unless there is a mutation causing that particular person to have more or less). Why do we all look differently? (Because we each have different mutations is not a complete answer. Please elaborate if that is how you decide to answer).

          Draw the stages of Mitosis, labeling the major occurrences, the components of each stage that are forming or disappearing to allow for the division to occur, etc. Label or describe everything you know about these stages.

Remember, you may ask questions up until the day of the test (1 week, 3/19). You may leave them as comments here, you may email them to me, or we will have the in class review day on 3/18.

Please don't wait until the night before to study for the exam! Start now, and your exam will look like the one at the beginning of this entry!
