Mitosis in Plant Cells
Lab Preview
Directions: Answer these questions before you begin the Lab.
1. Why should you examine the root tip under high and low power?
2. What is the root cap?
Reproduction of most cells in plants and animals uses mitosis and cell
division. In this lab, you will study mitosis in plant cells by examining
prepared slides of onion root-tip cells.
Real-World Question
Procedure
How can plant cells in different stages of
mitosis be distinguished from each other?
1. Obtain a prepared slide of cells from an onion
root tip.
2. Set your microscope on low power and
examine the slide. The large, round cells at
the root tip are called the root cap. Move
the slide until you see the cells just behind
the root cap. Turn to the high-power
objective.
3. Find an area where you can see the most
stages of mitosis. Count and record how
many cells you see in each stage. Record
your data on the next page.
4. Return the nosepiece to low power.
Remove the onion root-tip slide.

Mutations
Mutations can result in dominant or recessive genes. A recessive characteristic can appear only
if an organism has two recessive genes for that characteristic. However, a dominant
characteristic can appear if an organism has one or two dominant genes for that characteristic.
Why do some mutations result in more common traits while others do not?
Real-World Question
Follow Your Plan
Form a hypothesis about how a mutation can
become a common trait.
1. Make sure your teacher approves your plan
before you start.
2. Visit the link shown below to access different Web sites for information about mutations and genetics.
3. Decide if a mutation is beneficial, harmful,
or neither. Record your data in your Science Journal.

Modeling Cell Division in Early
Development
Hands-On Activities

Class
Every person starts out as a single cell. Cell division is responsible for the development of a
baby from the single cell. As the single cell begins developing, cell division results in exponential
growth in the number of cells present. Exponential growth is growth that occurs at an everincreasing rate. On a graph, exponential growth is represented by a J-shaped curve.
Strategy
You will model how cell division results in exponential growth in the number of cells in a
developing human.
You will determine why exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely during human
development.
You will infer why uncontrolled cell division, which occurs in cancer, can be so harmful to
human health.
Materials
uncooked rice
paper cups (11)
graph paper
Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Procedure
1. Obtain a container of uncooked rice from
your teacher. Each grain of rice represents
one human cell.
2. Place one grain of rice in a paper cup. This
grain of rice represents the single cell that
results when sperm and egg unite.
3. Label paper cups 1 through 10, and place
them in a row next to the cup containing
the original cell. During the first 10 cell
divisions, the cells in the developing
human all have the same cell-cycle length.
4. Place two grains of rice into cup 1 to
represent the number of cells present after
the original cell undergoes the first round
of mitosis. Record the number 2 in the
table in the Data and Observations section.
5. Place grains of rice into cup 2 to represent
the number of cells that will be present
after the second round of mitosis. Record
the number of cells in your data table.
6. Repeat step 5 for cups 3 through 10.
7. Using your data and graph paper, make a
line graph that shows the growth in the
numbers of cells. Label the x-axis Number
of cell divisions and the y-axis Number of
cells.

eleventh round of mitosis, groups of cells begin to have different cell-cycle lengths. What step
of the cell cycle is likely to be longer in cells with a longer cell cycle?
2. Could the type of growth you modeled with grains of rice continue indefinitely in a developing
human? Explain your answer.
3. Cancer results from uncontrolled cell division. Using your results from this activity, infer why
cancer can have such a serious effect on human health.

Examining Models of
Chromosomes
Models of the chromosomes of the imaginary Leksak bird can be found at the end of this
lab. The dark bands on these chromosome models are genes. Most cells in this bird’s body contain
the same number and type of chromosomes. The importance of genes to all living things, and to
the Leksak bird as well, is that they control all inherited traits. Chromosomes are important
because they are the carriers of these genes.
Strategy
You will cut out and pair chromosome models of the Leksak bird.
You will determine what type of change occurs in the number of chromosomes when a cell
divides by mitosis and meiosis.
Materials
scissors
Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Procedure/Data and Observations
1. Cut out each chromosome model in
Figure 1.
2. Fold each paper model in half along
dotted lines.
3. Match in pairs as many chromosome
models as possible. A chromosome pair
must match in length as well as in number
and location of genes. The lines on the
chromosome models represent genes.
4. Answer questions 1 through 4 in Questions
and Conclusions before proceeding further.
5. Cut each chromosome model in half
along the dotted line. Make two piles of
chromosome halves. Put one half of each
chromosome in one pile and the other
half in the second pile.
6. Compare the chromosomes in the first
pile with those in the second pile.
Cell division includes a process called mitosis
that occurs in most living things. During
mitosis, a cell’s nucleus divides into two
nuclei. The cutting of each chromosome
model and separating them into two piles is
similar to what happens in a living cell during
cell division. The two piles of chromosome
models represent two new cells. (Each chromosome duplicates itself and the two halves
then separate.)
7. Before proceeding, answer questions 5
and 6 in Questions and Conclusions.
8. Place all identical chromosome models
together in separate groups. You should
have six groups of models.
9. Take a group of matched chromosomes
and separate them into four piles. Take a
second group of matched chromosomes
and place one chromosome from the
group into each of the four piles.
10. Continue this sorting until all chromosome models, including the unmatched
chromosome models, have been separated
into the four piles. Each pile of chromosome models represents a sex cell.
A process called meiosis occurs in some living
things. During meiosis, a cell’s nucleus divides
twice so that one diploid cell divides to produce four haploid cells. Each new cell produced by this process is called a sex cell (egg
or sperm).

7. Do any chromosomes match one another in a sex cell?
8. Male Leksak birds have six matched pairs of chromosomes and one unmatched pair of chromosomes. Female Leksak birds have seven matched pairs of chromosomes. Were the chromosomes in our bird taken from a male or a female?
9. Are all cells produced by mitosis exactly alike, chromosome for chromosome? Gene for gene?
Explain why.

True to Foram
Meeting Individual Needs
The cells of the human body are called
eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells must reproduce and divide in order to make new cells.
You are familiar with the cells of your body,
but millions of eukaryotic cells are complete
living organisms all by themselves. Single-celled
organisms live, feed, and reproduce by mitosis,
just like the cells in your body.
When it comes time for a foram to reproduce the most common way they do it is by
mitosis. The cell slips outside its test and the
nucleus begins to enter prophase. This is a
dangerous time for the foram because its
energy is going into mitosis and it cannot
swim away from predators.
Single Cell with a Shell
Foram Mitosis
An interesting type of single-celled animal is
called a foraminifer (for–a–min–i–fer). This very
long word belongs to a very tiny animal.
Foraminifers, or forams for short, are related to
amoebas, single-celled organisms that have no
firm body shape. In contrast to amoebas, forams
are surrounded by little shells they make from
fluids on the outside of their bodies. These shells
are called “tests.” Forams make tests of many different shapes and sizes. The Egyptian pyramids
are made of stones filled with the circle-like
foram tests. They are easy to see since they are
about as big as a dime.
When examined under a microscope, the
foram’s chromatids can be seen. The nuclear
membrane disappears and the chromosomes
line up in the center of the cell. The foram
then goes through the rest of the stages of
mitosis: metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Finally, the cytoplasm divides and there are
two forams with the same genetic material.
The new cell has the exact same genetic information as the parent cell. It then uses fluids
from its skin to make a shell that looks just
like its parent. It feeds on the same food and
will, eventually, go through mitosis and cell
division itself.

Crossing Over
When pairs of chromosomes come together during meiosis I, they trade some genetic material.
The trading of genetic material between chromosomes is called crossing over. This is one reason
sexual reproduction results in so much genetic variability. For example, brothers and sisters can
have different hair color.
Meeting Individual Needs
Here is a summary of how crossing over occurs:
1. Chromosome pairs line up side by side during early prophase I. At
this stage, each chromosome is made up of two identical strands
held together at the centromere.
2. The pairs of double-stranded chromosomes twist around each
other. Breaks in the strands of each chromosome reattach to
strands from the paired chromosome. The point where crossing
over occurs is visible as an X-shaped structure.
3. Spindle fibers attach to one side of each centromere during
metaphase I. As the chromosomes are pulled apart during anaphase
I, the points where the chromosomes cross over separate. Each chromosome takes a small piece of new genetic material with it.
In the following activity, you will demonstrate crossing over by
making a clay model of chromosomes.

Radiation, Genes,
and Mutations
Meeting Individual Needs
Radiation is known to be dangerous to
human bodies. Millions of body cells exposed
to high-energy waves from X rays, radon gas,
and ultra-violet radiation have been permanently harmed by these emissions. The DNA of
the individual cells is too delicate to withstand
the energy produced by these kinds of radiation. The DNA molecules are torn apart or
suffer drastic changes in their genetic sequencing which can lead to mutations.
Under normal conditions, DNA molecules
routinely undergo some sort of genetic alteration. During replication, or copying of the
cell, mistakes in gene sequencing often occur.
However, the cell contains many repair mechanisms that continually monitor and repair
damage to DNA strands.
Radiation and Gene Damage
When cells are exposed to radiation, however, several types of molecular destruction
are possible. The DNA is both physically and
chemically broken (cleaved) by the high
energy waves. Often the repair of the DNA
strand by enzymes or other chemicals is not
adequate enough to put the DNA molecule
back together in its proper sequence.
When replication occurs, the new strands of
DNA carry the new altered sequence of genes.
As each generation of cells is produced
the mutations continue to show up in the
replicated cells. These cells are often nonfunctional and become tumorous growths
such as skin cancer.
Radon
Radon gas is especially harmful to lung tissues because it enters the body through regular breathing in a building contaminated with
radon. The emissions easily damage fragile
lung tissues. Not only do the high-energy
radioactive emissions destroy cellular DNA,
but other large particles tear the cell membranes apart leaving the body strained to constantly repair the damaged tissues.
Fortunately, many forms of genetic alteration by radiation are preventable. Limiting
exposure to X rays, using sunscreen, and testing buildings for radon levels can help prevent
damage to a cell’s genetic makeup.
1. What makes radiation dangerous to cells?
2. How are skin cells damaged by exposure to ultra-violet radiation?
3. In what two ways does radon destroy genetic information in lung tissue cells?
4. Why do you think it’s important that a pregnant woman always tell her healthcare provider she
is pregnant before receiving any X ray examination?
