Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)

1. Cells reproduce by splitting in half, a procedure called cell division. What do cells need to do between

divisions to brand sure that they don't just get smaller and smaller?

They need to grow in between division

Length is set up to 12 hours. Click Play ( ), observe until the maximum number of

cells is shown, then click Interruption ( ).

1. Look at the cells. Practice they all await the same? Yes

2. Cells that are in the process of dividing are said to be in mitosis or

cytokinesis. Cells that are non dividing are in interphase.

Check the Magnify box and move the cursor over the cells.

A. Of the 100 cells shown, how many are in the process of dividing?

B. Select the BAR CHART tab, and plow on Show numerical values. How many cells are in the

interphase stage of their life cycle? 80

C. Based on these 2 observations, would you say that a cell spends nigh of its life wheel in
