topic 1.6: cell division
Essential Ideas:
- Cell division is essential but must be controlled.
- Problems with cell division control can result in diseases such as cancer.
Cell division process and functions
1.6U1: Mitosis is division of the nucleus into two genetically identical daughter nucleii.
1.6U2: Chromosomes condense by supercoiling during mitosis.
1.6U3: Cytokinesis occurs after mitosis and is different in plant and animal cells.
1.6U4: Interphase is a very active phase of the cell cycle with many processes occurring in the nucleus and cytoplasm
1.6Skill1: Identification of the phases of mitosis viewed with a microscope or in a micrograph..

Cell Cycle Regulation
1.6U5: Cyclins are involved in the control of the cell cycle.
1.6U6: Mutagens, oncogenes, and metastasis are involved in the development of primary and secondary tumours.
1.6A1: The correlation between smoking and the incidence of cancers.
1.6Skill2: Determination of the mitotic index from a micrograph.
