Unit 6 Cell Reproduction Unit Objectives
1. Why Do Cells Divide?
A. I can explain why surface area-to-volume ratios are important to a dividing cell.
B. I can explain the importance of cell division (binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis) to living organisms.
2. The Cell Cycle
A. I can identify the phases of the cell cycle from diagrams.
B. I can tell what happens in each phase of the cell cycle.
C. I can explain why one phase of the cell cycle follows another.
D. I can explain why cancer is considered a disease of the cell cycle.
Vocabulary: chromatin, cell cycle, G , S, G , cytokinesis, mitosis, meiosis, benign and malignant tumors.

3. Chromosomes
A. I can identify the parts of a chromosome.
B. I can explain the importance of chromosomes.
C. I can tell the difference between autosomes and sex chromosomes.
Vocabulary: histones, chromosome, sister chromatid, centromere, autosome, sex chromosome, chromatin, homologous pair .
4. Mitosis
A. I can put the stages of mitosis in the proper order.
B. I can explain why one phase of mitosis follows another.
C. I can identify the purpose of mitosis and which cells divide this way.
D. I can list differences between how animal and plant cells divide.
Vocabulary: centrioles, spindle, cell plate, diploid, asexual reproduction, somatic cell, cell equator.
5. Meiosis
A. I can explain how meiosis I and meiosis II are the same, yet different.
B. I can explain when and how the number of chromosomes is reduced in meiosis.
C. I can identify the purpose of meiosis and which cells divide this way.
D. I can explain how meiosis produces genetic variation in offspring and why genetic variation is necessary.
E. I can explain what causes mutations.
Vocabulary: homologous chromosomes, crossing over, haploid, sexual reproduction, gamete, zygote, tetrad, germ cell.
6. Summary
A. I can list similarities and differences between mitosis and meiosis.
