Mitosis and Meiosis SC.912.L.16.17
Student needs to know......
-
You need to know the differences and similarities in the processes of mitosis and meiosis and relate these to the processes of sexual and asexual reproduction.
-
You need to know how mitosis and meiosis lead to genetic variation.
-
You need to know the relationship between mutation, cell cycle, and uncontrolled cell growth potentially resulting in cancer.
-
You need to know the cell cycle, including the process of mitosis and be able to explain the role of mitosis in the formation of new cells and its importance in maintaining chromosome number during sexual reproduction.
