I can name the two major types of cell division and describe the purpose for both types.
List & describe the purpose of the major cell structures.
Notes/Discussion:
1. Differentiate between somatic and gamete cells.
2. Differentiate the GOAL of mitosis and meiosis.
3. Describe the different forms DNA can take… including nucleoid, chromatin, chromatids, chromosomes, & homologous chromosomes.
4. Describe the cell cycle including a summary of the major events that occur during interphase (G1, S, and G2) as well as the general overall
purpose of mitosis/cytokinesis.
5. Review some illustrations of the cell cycle.
Differentiate between the purpose of mitosis and meiosis. How does an organisms’ asexual/sexual mode of reproduction influence the type of cell
division an organism uses?

Bell Ringer
Review how mitosis is different between plants and animals (concerning the cell plate formation in plant, but a cell membrane cleavage in animal
cells).
Draw an example of a cell that has 6 chromosomes in metaphase would appear like. Is the nucleus present? Why or why not?
Compare/contrast types of cell division
Homework & discussions
I can explain the difference between diploid and haploid cells and explain why mitosis is always contains diploid cells.
Describe the major events that occur in each phase of mitosis, be sure to explain when the nucleus is and is not present in a eukaryotic cell?
A: 2/13
Lesson
B: 2/14
Quiz :
Purpose and phases of mitosis.
Notes/Discussion:
Review somatic and gamete cells concepts.
Describe the major differences between diploid and haploid cells. Explain the purpose for this.
Group Activity:
Have the students hypothesize how this process could occur with a “trading of cards” activity.

Lesson
Neapolitan Ice Cream Lab:
Sequence the events as to how Neapolitan ice cream sandwiches can be divided in such a manner that each new half still maintains the qualities of
a Neapolitan ice cream sandwich.
Explain the MAIN REASON for the events of each phase of mitosis.
Quiz
I can explain the purpose of meiosis, and describe how the events of independent assortment and crossing over both play a major role in producing
genetic variation within a gene pool.
I can describe the major events that occur in it, and differentiate between mitosis & meiosis accordingly.
Are the cells resulting from mitosis identical to the original cells or are they unique?
Notes/Discussion:
Explain the concepts of gene segregation and independent assortment.
Explain the process of crossing over.
Explain how linked genes interfere with independent assortment.
Exit Ticket
Group Review Activity questions:
1. Review bell ringers & exit slips.
2. Summarize the major events of the cell cycle
3. Justify how mitosis is used for growth (identical cells) and meiosis is for variation.
4. Differentiate between haploid and diploid cells.
5. Differentiate between somatic and gamete cells.
6. Do all organisms that undergo mitosis also experience meiosis?
7. Do all organisms that experience meiosis also undergo mitosis?
What is the difference between a diploid cell and a haploid cell?
Homework

Learning Target
What are the major differences of mitosis and meiosis? Include a description that identifies not just the difference in purpose, but also in
chromosomal layout.
Organize a review sheet from the bell ringers & exit tickets for this unit.

Bell Ringer
I can describe how each type of cell division is related to asexual and sexual reproduction.
Compare and contrast gene segregation and independent assortment. Explain how both play a role in increasing genetic variation within a
population.
Lesson
Test on asexual cell reproduction, interphase & mitosis.
B: n/a
Notes/Discussion:
