Learning
Target
I can name each of the steps of
mitosis as well as identify the major
events of each step in this process.
I can name the two major types
of cell division and describe the
purpose for both types.
In addition to naming and
describing the steps of mitosis, I can
also explain the purpose of the
major events that occur in each
stage of mitosis.
I can explain the difference between
diploid and haploid cells and explain
why mitosis is always contains diploid
cells.
Bell ringer
List & describe the purpose of
the major cell structures.
Lesson
(procedures,
activities,
materials)
Name each step of mitosis in the
correct order.
Quick review: Review the
major cell structures…
specifically the nucleus &
DNA.
Notes/Discussion:
Describe each step of mitosis and
label the structures found
throughout the process.
Notes/Discussion:
1. Differentiate between somatic
and gamete cells.
Identify the purpose of each major
structure and event observed
throughout the process of the cell
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?
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.
Group Review Activity questions:
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?
Benchmark
Testing
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.
Discussion of benchmark
w/ review of difficult
concepts
2. Describe the different forms
DNA can take… including
nucleoid, chromatin,
chromatids, chromosomes, &
homologous chromosomes.
3. 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.
4. Review some illustrations of
the cell cycle.

Assessments
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?

Review for test
Homework & discussions
Organize a review sheet from the bell
ringers & exit tickets for this unit.
Competency/Objective:
Obj 4b. Differentiate between the types of cellular reproduction.
How do the major events
of meiosis produce cells
that are they unique
(assorted) when compared
to the parents?
