Mitosis Modeling

Materials

  •   Four 12-inch pipe cleaners (2 of one colour and 2 of another)
  • Four 6-inch pipe cleaners (2 of one colour and 2 of another)
  • 48 beads
  • 3 large pieces of string (~ 1m)
  • 8 small pieces of string (~ 20cm)

Interphase

Interphase is the stage of the cell cycle in which a cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for division.

benefit of interphase is duplicates chromosomes. One of the limitation of interphase is growth issues.

Prophase

In prophase, chromosomes are in the nuclear member, also their beside centrioles.
there are 4 chromosomes in the prophase.
One of the benefits of prophase can be Chromosomes shorting and one of the limitations of prophase can be High energy combustion.

Metaphase

Chromosomes are on the middle of the shape of metaphase.

one of the benefits of metaphase is preventing cell division errors.

limitation on metaphase is possible chromosome alignment errors during cell division.

Anaphase 

chromosomes are dissociated in anaphase.

anaphase distributing chromosome.

anaphase limitation is genetic instability.

Telophase 

telophase is in tow part and chromosomes division in them.

telophase cleavage the cell.

telophase limitation is failure cytokinesis.

In prophase chromosomes are in neaucles

Edible DNA

We make DNA with some  marshmallows in our class.

 

How does this model show:

    1. what DNA is- our genetic code and is often found in the form of chromatin.
    2. what DNA does- it allows everyone to be unique and diverse. It controls how cells function, reproduce and die.
    3. how easily DNA can copy itself- It shows how DNA can reproduce using only half of a helix.
  1. What further questions do you have after building this model?
    1. What answers can you find to your questions?

How do cells know what their job is?

Genes determine what cells should do.

footprint

1.How might your digital footprint impact your high school experience?

Digital footprint is actually about every online activity we do, and we should be aware of what we post, when and where, because we can be ridiculed by others at school or at work. could be + or -.

2.What techniques around digital self-regulation could you use during class time that could contribute to academic success?

  • turn sound off.
  • don’t use in a class.

3. What elements of school culture are necessary for you to be successful both academically and socially?

  • involved
  • be active in class
