    The document discusses cell growth and division. It asks questions about why bone cells replicate themselves, what happens in the nucleus before cell division, and how mitosis helps healing wounds. It defines mitosis as the process of cell division and meiosis as the process that reduces chromosomes in reproductive cells. Finally, it compares the key differences between mitosis, which occurs in somatic cells and maintains chromosome number, and meiosis, which occurs in germ cells and halves chromosome number to enable sexual reproduction.

    First week

    How organisms grow?


    - How our organs grow, how the nucleus controls the cell
    Questions
    Q/ why do bone cells make exact copy of themselves?
    A/ to enable new cells to perform the same functions as older cells
    Q/ what happens in the nucleus before a cell divides?
    A/ making an exact copy of it’s chromosomes
    Q/ how does mitosis help in healing wounds?
    A/ skin cells divide, and regenerated skin grows over the cut or wound

    Second week
    Mitosis and meiosis
    - Student will learn mitosis and meiosis steps and purpose
    Questions
    Q/ what is the definition of mitosis?
    A/ the process of cell division
    Q/ what is the definition of meiosis?
    A/ the process that reduces the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells

    Third week

    Mitosis and meiosis


    - Student will learn the difference between mitosis and meiosis
    - The steps of meiosis and its rule in sexual reproduction

    Mitosis Meiosis
    Happens in somatic cells Happens in germ cells
