Objectives:

1. Compare the relationship between a parent and its offspring resulting from asexual versus sexual reproduction.
2. Explain why cell division is essential for eukaryotic and prokaryotic life.
3. Explain how daughter prokaryotic chromosomes are separated from each other during binary fission.
4. Compare the structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes.
5. Describe the stages and significance of the cell cycle.
6. List the phases of mitosis, and describe the events characteristic of each phase.
7. Compare cytokinesis in animals and plants.
8. Explain how anchorage, cell density, and growth factors control the cell cycle.
9. Explain how cancerous cell are different from healthy cells.  Distinguish between benign and malignant tumors, and explain the strategies behind dome common cancer treatments.
10. Describe the function of mitosis.
11. Explain how chromosomes are paired.  Distinguish between autosomes and sex chromosomes.
12. Distinguish between (a) somatic cells and gametes and (b) diploid cells and haploid cells.
13. List the phases of meiosis I and meiosis II, and describe the events characteristic of each phase.  Recognize the phases of meiosis from diagrams or micrographs.
14. Describe the key differences between mitosis and meiosis.  Explain how the result of meiosis differs from the result of mitosis.
15. Explain how crossing over during prophase I of meiosis, independent orientation of chromosomes at metaphase I, and random fertilization contribute to genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms.
