Mitosis Lab Report

168 Words1 Page

Cells in the human body can undergo two types of division: meiosis, or mitosis. Mitosis is for somatic cells while meiosis is for gametes/non-somatic cells. The purpose of this lab is to observe and identify the stages of mitosis and meiosis, and view chromosomes under a compound light microscope. Mitosis would be observed in a preserved onion root-tip slide to view and identify the different stages of the process: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. The stages examined in this lab for mitosis were interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. As for meiosis in a lily anther, the nine stages that were examined were prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase 1, prophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase

    During this experiment, mitochondria were isolated from 20.2 grams of cauliflower using extraction buffer, filtration through Miracloth, and centrifusion. Twelve samples containing various volumes of mitochondrial suspension, assay buffer, DCIP, sodium azide, and citric acid cycle intermediates were prepared to be read by a spectrophotometer. The inclusion of the dye DCIP allowed for the absorbance of the reactions between the mitochondrial suspension and the TCA cycle intermediates succinate, malonate, and oxalate to be measured, as DCIP turns from blue to colorless as the activity of succinate dehydrogenase increases. Experimental Findings Increasing the number of mitochondria in the reaction did increase the reduction of DCIP relative to the amount of mitochondrial suspension present.

    The amount of water the plants need every day for their daily activities such as for growth and photosynthesis is small when compared to what is really lost because of transpiration. Plants have specialized pores called stomata which are in charge for allowing the passing of materials. The stomata pores are surrounded by cells called guard cells whose function is to expand and contract so that they can open and close the stomata. So for example when the plant is losing too much water the guard cells close to stop that.

    Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to test for mitochondrial activity by isolating different organelles using the differential centrifugation process. Studying mitochondria is extremely important because they control the death and life of the cell by regulating the apoptotic signals (Frezza et al 2007). Also they are responsible for the metabolic reactions (aerobic respiration) and the production of ATP (Frezza et al 2007). Three hypotheses were formed based on my knowledge.

    The stages of Meiosis II are: prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II. Meiosis generates four haploid cells, which begins with the division of one diploid cell. Diploid means having two sets of chromosomes, and haploid means having half the number of genetic information as diploid (or one set). To begin, late interphase is the phase when the DNA in the diploid parent cell is replicated. Then, in prophase I, the chromatin condenses and the chromosomes become visible.

    What we knew in last 100 years about chromosomes has completely changed now with this new discovery. We had thought the nucleus is made up of tightly wrapped proteins called histones which form chromosomes. “New research shows that not only the the chromosomes contain 25,000 or more genes it contains also a mysterious structure scientists have found a sheet-like structure that occupies the 47% of the chromosome” (BEC Crew). For the last century, we thought the cell nucleus was made of complex DNA and histone proteins. The reason we did not know much about the cell nucleus is because the chromosomes were only visible during cell division that is during meiosis and mitosis, where the chromosomes are tightly packed to form supercoiled like structures which were visible under a microscope.

    Introduction: This lab report outlines an experiment on the observation of mitosis in the cells of garlic root tips. Mitosis simply put is the division of a nucleus producing two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Miotic cell division consists of five stages: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. The purpose of this experimet was to identify and observe cells within each stage of mitosis using garlic root tip cells.

    Additionally, mitotic spindle disintegrates and chromosomes are uncoiled into chromatin, returning the cell to the interphase structure. Even though mitosis is finished with telophase, the final cell segregation occurs at cytokinesis. It starts before telophase and divides the cytoplasm of the cell, therefore making two daughter cells with the genetically identical nucleus. The aim of the practical was to observe the sample of the onion root tip under the microscope and to count cells in different mitotic phases.

    Introduction Mitosis can be defined as a process of nuclear division among eukaryotic cells for which a couple of identical daughter cells are produced when the main parent cell divides. The focus point of mitosis is specifically the equal replication of genetic material within the nucleus that occurs through the function of this elaborate process is to keep a constant number of chromosomes in all somatic cells of the body. Mitosis is part of a bigger phase process known as the cell cycle, which is separated into two parts, mitosis and interphase. Interphase is characterised by the term ‘cell growth’ and holds the significantly largest portion of the cell cycle timeline. Mitosis is further segregated into four main stages known as prophase,

    Mitosis, Meiosis, Linked Genes, and Chromosomal Abnormalities Similarities between Mitosis and Meiosis Both Mitosis and Meiosis are involved in the reproduction of eukaryotic cells in multicellular organisms. Both start from a diploid parent cell, where the process of cell nuclear division starts with one cell. The DNA of the primary cell is replicated once prior to nuclear partitioning. Meiosis and Mitosis are multistage processes, including an Interphase, a Prophase, a metaphase, an anaphase, and a telophase, or multiples thereof. Both go through a period of growth with the interphase, and genetic synthesis, before their cycles begin.

  • Examples Of Sympatric Speciation

    1018 Words  | 5 Pages

    Polyploidy is when an organism has more than twice the haploid number of chromosomes. The process of sympatric speciation begins when an offspring is born diploid, meaning it has twice the haploid number of chromosomes. For example, the common fruit fly ordinarily has eight chromosomes, whereas a diploid fruit fly has sixteen chromosomes. These organisms can then have offspring that are tetraploid and so on. It is impossible for organisms with different amount of chromosomes to mate with each other; a diploid organism cannot mate with a tetraploid organism, which creates reproductive isolation and in turn leads to evolution (Coyne 1).Isolation due to polyploidy is more common in plants than animals because plants can reproduce asexually while animals most often cannot.

Introduction Cell viability assay plays a crucial role is in the cells of the cell culture. This assay can be used to identify the relationship of cell count from the cell’s behavior (Stoddart 2011). This test help researchers to determine the number of viable and non-viable cells in a cell culture. This assay helps in estimating the cell count of a cell culture and to determine if there is sufficient amount of viable cells in the cell culture that a person will use for future research (Riss et al. 2013).
