Understanding the differences and similarities between Mitosis and Meiosis is a challenge!  This video might help.  http://www.diffen.com/difference/Meiosis_vs_Mitosis

The presenter is definitely an evolutionist and his worldview is definitely not Christian, but when he sticks to the facts, his information is definitely helpful.

Once again, the intricacies of this one process — reproduction — point to an amazing Creator.

Rather than performing Experiment 7.1 in class, I would like you to watch the following You-Tube video:

Then for Experiment 7.2 please do the following:

1.  To view animal cells undergoing mitosis, visit http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/animals/cell/mitosis/label/label.GIF

2.  Sketch (or print) the cells as shown.

3.  Label each cell with the stage it is in.

4.  Check your animal cell labels here:  http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/animals/cell/mitosis/label/labelanswers.GIF

5.  Click on this link to see the differences between plant and animal telophase and cytokinesis.  Write a paragraph describing what happens in each type of cell.

Please bring your labeled drawing and paragraph to class on January 11.
