The Cell Cycle

This is your final week of new content for the first semester! We’ll spend this week discussing the fundamentals of the cel cycle and begin preparing for your final weeks of studying for your final exam.

BY THE END OF THIS WEEK, you should be able to:

  • describe what occurs in G1, S, & G2, and how to differentiate each,

  • describe the differences between B, C, & D periods in prokaryotes,

  • discuss how cancer cells relate to the cell cycle,

  • list the stages of a cell’s cycle in chronological order, including the three stages of interphase, the two stages of M phase, and the steps within mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase), and

  • describe the phases of mitosis.

Week 16 - Biology

Your Week Ahead

Day 1: Cell Cycle

  1. We’ll review your test 3 and set up the week, then jump into an activity using Gizmos to introduce key terms associated with the cell cycle.

  2. AFTER CLASS, study for your quiz!

  3. Also after class, review pages 274-285 from previous readings and read 286-297.

Day 2: Photosynthesis/Respiration Quiz & Continuing Activity

  1. We’ll begin with you taking your quiz on filling in the tables we learned surrounding photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Afterwards, you will finish your interphase activity that we began last class.

Day 3: Somatic Cell Lab

  1. You will spend the day jumping into a lab learning more about the cell cycle.

  2. After class, study for your drawing test on Monday!
