mitosis. Growth Rate of Rapidly Dividing Human Liver Cell Time (hours) Number of cells 1 10 2 20 4 30 8 40 16 50 32 If no cells die, how many cells will there be in one week? If the original cell is diploid and divides mitotically, how many copies of each chromosome will there be in 60 hours? 1. 2.

Let’s model mitosis. Focus on drawing the cell nucleus taking care to model the number and location of chromosomes. Although the chromosomes are only visible in each stage, draw them in all stages for clarity sake. Draw a 2n=4 cell at G1 of interphase. Draw the same cell at the start of prophase. Draw the same cell at metaphase. Draw the cell(s) that result at the end of cytokinesis. You can draw this out on paper

Just the answer

Mitosisis divided into phases.  Match the phase to its characteristic.   Chromosomes begin to relax, and new nuclear membranes form   Sister chromatids are pulled apart by microtubules of the spindle   Condensed chromosomes line up in the center of the cell   Nuclear membrane breaks down, chromosomes attach to microtubules   Chromosomes begin to condense   Cell physically divides (cytoplasm is divided)
