Student Exploration: Cell Division

Vocabulary: cell division, centriole, centromere, chromatid, chromatin, chromosome,
cytokinesis, DNA, interphase, mitosis


Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)

1. Cells reproduce by splitting in half, a process called cell division. What do cells need to do
between divisions to make sure that they don’t just get smaller and smaller?

In between cell division the cells go through the interphase stage. This includes the G1
phase, the S phase and the G2 phase. In the G1 phase the cell is growing and starting to




m
er as
get ready to replicate DNA. In the S phase the DNA is replicated and in the G2 phase the
cell prepares to divide. Cells spend most of their life in this stage.

2. The genetic information of a cell is carried in its DNA (short for deoxyribonucleic acid). What
rs e
do cells need to do between divisions to make sure that a full set of DNA gets passed on to
ou urc
each daughter cell?

The cells have to synthesize (replicate) their DNA which is done in the S phase of
o

interphase.
