Review all notes, labs, diagrams, problems and tests
Mitosis/Cancer
 Cell Cycle: Define it and know All parts and stages
 Mitosis: All parts and stages (PMATC)
 Plant vs. Animal mitosis
 Function and location of each:
Cell plate, Cleavage furrow, Spindle fibers, Chromatin,
Chromatid, Centromere, Chromosomes, Genes, Centrioles
 Cancer and the cell cycle:
o Genes that are involved
o Causes
o How is it treated
 Meiosis:
o Where does it happen?
o What type of cells does it produce?
o Diploid or haploid cells?

Platyhelminthes (ex: Flatworms)
Nematoda ( ex: roundworms)
Annelida (ex: segmented worms)
Mollusca (ex; clams, snails, squid)

Vertebrates –
Ectothermic – cold blooded
Endothermic- warm blooded
 Characteristics, reproduction and development of each
o Fishes: Names, differences and examples of all 3 Classes
o Amphibians- cold-blooded, slimy skin, lay eggs in water; Ex:
o Reptiles- cold-blooded, scales, lay amniotic eggs on land; Ex;
o Birds -feathers, hollow bones, warm-blooded, lay amniotic eggs
o Mammals- warm-blooded; uterus for development; feed babies
milk, fur; Names, differences and examples of 3 Classes
