1. Build a Model and
1. Why/how does describe the structure of
cell division differ a DNA strand
in Prokaryotes and
Eukaryotes.

Mitosis and Cell
Division
Regulation of the Cell
Cycle
1. Draw, identify, and
explain what is
happening at each
stage of the 4 phases of
mitosis.
1. Explain how the
cell cycle is regulated
by enzymes.
2. Explain how plant
mitosis is different
from animal mitosis.
2. Explain how
controls in the cell
cycle keep damaged
cells from
accumulating.
3. How does a cell turn
cancerous?
