Chapter 10.1, 10.2 & 11.4: Cell Growth and Division
Benchmark:
LS-B. Explain the characteristics of life as indicated by cellular processes and describe the
process of cell division and development.
Indictaor:
LS-B4. Summarize the general processes of cell division and differentiation, and explain why
specialized cells are useful to organisms and explain that complex multicellular organisms are formed as
highly organized arrangements of differentiated cells.
For this unit we will study the stages of development a cell goes through (the
cell cycle) with special emphasis on the two ways that cells divide (mitosis and
meiosis). Special attention will be paid to:
 whether the products are haploid or diploid
 what happens in each stage of each cell cycle
 recognizing each stage of each type of cell division in plant and animal cells
 comparing/contrasting mitosis and meiosis (and binary fission)
 comparing contrasting cell division in eukaryotes and prokaryotes
Assessment for this unit consists of a mixed format test (multiple choice, short
answer, diagrams, etc.) as well as a performance project where you act out cell
division. More about this project on another sheet
