A. Explain why mitosis is important and its role in uni-celled and multi-celled
organisms.
B. Describe what interphase is and what happens during interphase to prepare the cell
for mitosis.
C. List the stages of mitosis in order.
D. Define the following terms: gene, chromosome, chromatid, centromere
E. For each stage of mitosis describe what the chromosomes are doing.
F. Describe what the results are after Mitosis including: 1. New cells compared to
original and each other, 2. # of chromosomes produced, 3. # of pairs of chromosomes
produced.
G. When looking at cells under a microscope, can identify what phase the cell is in
and predict what phase will be next.
H. Describe the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction
I. Describe what budding and regeneration are and how they are different.
J. Compare mitosis in plant and animal cells.
K. List two examples of asexual reproduction.
Topic 2: Sexual Reproduction and Meiosis:
A. Define the following terms: sexual reproduction, Sperm, Eggs, fertilization,
Zygote
B. Explain the difference between diploid cells and haploid Cells.
C. Explain what meiosis is and what it produces.
D. Describe the stages of meiosis and how sex cells are produced.
E. Explain why meiosis is needed for sexual reproduction.
F. Explain how fertilization occurs in sexual reproduction.
G. Use the processes of mitosis and meiosis to explain the advantages and
disadvantages of asexual and sexual reproduction
Topic 2: DNA:
A. Describe what DNA is.
B. Describe what a gene is and where it is located
C. Describe 3 examples of what genes decide in living things.
D.Identify the parts of a DNA molecule and its structure.
E.Explain how DNA copies itself.
F.Explain the relationships among DNA, genes and chromosomes.
5 I know how to do this skill, and I can teach it to another person. I need to practice this skill every now and then, so I do not forget
how to do it correctly.
4 I know how to do this skill, but I am not confident enough to teach it to another person. I need to continue practicing this skill.
3 I can do this skill some of the time, but I still make mistakes. I need to practice this skill in order to get better.
2 I have difficulty with this skill and need help from the teacher or another adult to learn how to do it correctly.

I am unfamiliar with this skill and need instruction.
Cell Reproduction Language Learning Goals:

During and by the End of the Unit the Student should be able to do the
following with this Science Language for this unit.
1. Listen for these words as they are used in class during lectures/labs
and in review.
2. Be able to define these words
3. Be able to write these words as needed in labs, worksheets and
quiz/Test or in notes and use them in a sentence.
4. Be able to pronounce the word and tell in your own words the meaning
of the word.
