Success Criteria:
- You can describe the cell cycle.
- You can describe what happens during each stage of mitosis.
Today we looked at more carrots!
I put some carrot tops in water for a few weeks and they sprouted leaves. Where do these leaves come from? How does the carrot know what kind of leaves to grow? The answer is in its DNA. The DNA of the carrot contains all the information it needs to grow a whole new carrot. This growth comes in the form of cell division.
Handouts:
We discussed cell division and all the stages. Have a look at the handouts and try to answer the questions in the worksheet.
Watch these videos for animations of what the stages of mitosis looks like.
