Use the two images to complete the activity.
The first stage shows a nucleus inside a cell. The second stage shows the nucleus consisting of two pairs of chromosomes with microtubules. The third stage shows the chromosomes lining up with the help of spindles. The fourth stage shows the chromosomes vertically lined up and both the microtubules are attached to each chromosome through the spindles. The fifth stage shows both the microtubules pulling and dividing the chromosomes in half, forming two sets of chromosomes. The sixth stage shows the cell getting divided into two parts. The seventh stage shows two separate cells, each with its own nucleus.
The cell cycle begins with interphase, where the cell takes approximately 10 hours to grow. If it passes the G1 checkpoint, the DNA duplication starts and goes on for approximately eight hours. The cell further grows for approximately four hours. After passing the G2 checkpoint, the process of mitosis takes place, which takes approximately one to two hours. The phases during mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. After cytokinesis, the daughter cells enter interphase, and the cycle gets repeated.
In three to five sentences, describe the advantages and disadvantages of these maps in modeling mitosis.
(4 points)
The advantages of these maps in modeling mitosis are that they provide a clear visual representation of the different stages and processes involved in mitosis. They help to clearly demonstrate the sequence and progression of events during mitosis. Additionally, the use of images helps to engage visual learners and make the information more memorable.
However, the maps also have some disadvantages. They may oversimplify the complex nature of mitosis and may not fully capture all the intricacies and variations that can occur. Furthermore, the maps do not provide any additional information or explanations on the specific functions and roles of the different components involved in mitosis. Therefore, they rely on prior knowledge or further explanations to fully understand the process.
