Students should be able to:  

- Describe reasons why cells need to divide

- Compare and contrast eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell division

- Describe Binary Fission

- Explain the relationship between DNA, Chromatin, and Chromosomes

- Identify if chromosomes are duplicated or unduplicated

- Describe the major events of interphase and cell division

- Explain why non-dividing cells enter G0 

- Compare and contrast cytokinesis in animal vs, plant cells

- Describe what triggers cells to start and stop dividing 

- Explain the different outcomes that can occur during cell cycle checkpoints 

- Compare and contrast different types of tumors 

- Describe how cancer starts and how it can spread through the body

- Differentiate between the different types of cancer treatments 

- Describe the relationship between homologous chromosomes

- Compare and contrast sexual vs. asexual reproduction

- compare and contrast meiosis & mitosis

- compare and contrast somatic cells and gametes

- describe meiosis’ and mitosis’ role in the human life cycle

- Differentiate between the three major ways meiosis leads to variation in sexual reproduction

- Explain how errors in meiosis lead to abnormalities in the offspring

- Interpret a karyotype to determine if an organism is a human, the sex, and if there are any aneuploidies

- Describe the aneuploidy (trisomy/monosomy) seen with commonly seen chromosomal disorders
