Mitosis and Meiosis
Pre-Lab Questions
1. Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis.
2. What major events occur during interphase?
3. Why is it important that the primary and secondary oocytes contain the majority of the cytoplasm leaving the polar oocytes with so little?
4. What are chromosomes made of?
5. Research the differences that exist in mitosis in plant versus animal cells.
6. Critical Thinking: Cancer is a disease related to uncontrolled cell division. Investigate two known causes for these rapidly dividing cells and use this knowledge to invent a drug that would inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
