1. You might think of how parents look like their children. Their shared char-
acterisitecs are coded in the DNA passed down by the parent. This DNA is
in all cells, which copies itself as one cells divides into two. Do you think this
process is the same for all cells?: No, because prokaryotic cells would need more
complex processes due to the cell wall
2. Prokaryotes, being smaller and less complex than eukaryotes, replicate
using a simple process called binary fission. Listed below are a few steps
which must happen during the process and a few that don't.
See if you can identify which steps should occur in binary fission below:: DNA
is copied in place
Cell wall and membrane pinch closed
DNA migrates to either side of cell
Two genetically identical cells are present
3. You now know the steps of binary fission in prokaryotes. See if you can
order the images from the first to last step starting on the left.:
4. Binary fission is used by:: Prokaryotes
5. And produces:: Two genetically identical cells
6. Eukaryotes (plants, animals, and fungi) reproduce differently than prokary-
otes on a cellular level. Which of the following do you think contributes most
to this different process?: Eukaryotes generally have larger genomes
7. Normally, the cell is in a state called interphase, which has three stages - G1,
S, and G2, shown to the right. In interphase, the cell is performing its normal
functions, but toward the end some changes begin happening. What do you
see happening in the images to the right?: The genetic material is being copied
8. REPLICATION
Interphase (G1/S/G2) - Prophase - Metaphase - Anaphase - Telophase - Cytoki-
nesis
The first stage of mitosis is called prophase. The images to the right show
a cell both before and after prophase. What appears different?: The genetic
material has condensed
9. Shown on the right is an enlarged version of the diagram of the cell af-
ter prophase, in which X-shaped structures called chromosomes have con-
densed from chromatin. Do you think chromosomes would always be shaped
like an X? Why or why not?: No - other organisms might have differently shaped
chromosomes
