The mitotic cell cycle
The mitotic cell cycle — Cambridge International AS & A Level Biology (9700, AS Level, Topic 5).
Chromosomes, the Cell Cycle and MitosisSign up
understand the role of mitosis and the cell cycle in producing genetically identical daughter cells for growth and asexual reproduction · CORE PRACTICAL 6: prepare and stain a root tip squash to observe the stages of mitosis · calculate mitotic indices
Stem Cells, Cell Replacement and CancerSign up
understand the terms stem cell, pluripotent, totipotent, morula and blastocyst; discuss societal uses of stem-cell knowledge in medical therapies · understand how cells become specialised through differential gene expression, producing active mRNA that drives synthesis of proteins controlling cell processes or structure · understand how one gene can give rise to more than one protein via post-transcriptional changes to mRNA
