does its job and either never or rarely divides
S Cell replicates its DNA
G2 Cell grows again
ALL of these are INTERPHASE!
WHY DO CELLS DIVIDE? Mitosis
Cells undergo mitotic division to repair damage or to help an organism grow.
For example: You are riding your bike and totally biff it! Now, your hands and forearms are completely stripped of skin, and a scab forms. Beneath that scab, cells are undergoing mitotic division to replace the damaged or missing skin.
For example: A male moose has to have large antlers to impress the ladies. His cells undergo mitotic division to help him grow manly antlers for mating season!
Meiosis Cells undergo meiosis to increase
genetic diversity in the population.
For example: Because your parents produced gametes made during meiosis, you will NEVER be exactly like your mom or dad! Whew!

WHAT DO ALL THE CARBON-BASED MOLECULES HAVE IN COMMON?
All carbon-based molecules have carbon! Carbon makes all of
these molecules organic in nature.
All carbon-based molecules are necessary for life. All living organisms
require the four carbon-based molecules to form components of their cells.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HYPOTONIC AND HYPERTONIC SOLUTION? Hypotonic
Solute concentration outside the cell is LOWER than solute concentration inside the cell.
Water is moving INSIDE the cell Cell swells and burst
cytolysis Hypertonic
Solute concentration outside the cell is HIGHER than solute concentration inside the cell.
Water is moving OUTSIDE the cell. Cell shrinks
plasmolysis
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE TRANSPORT?
Passive Transport Simple diffusion Facilitated diffusion
Does not require energy. Molecules move DOWN the concentration
gradient from high to low concentration. People getting off a crowded train!
Active Transport Requires Energy (ATP)
Molecules are pushed AGAINST the concentration gradient from low to high concentration. Think about the people getting pushed
onto a crowded train!
WHAT IS SELECTIVE PERMEABILITY?
Selective permeability is where only some substances can cross a semi-permeable barrier. For example: When you strain
coffee in a filter, the coffee grinds don’t go through but the water does. This is selective permeability.
In cells, selective permeability is achieved by the cell membrane! Osmosis is the diffusion of water
across a selectively-permeable membrane.
Other substances, depending on their polarity (positive or negative charges) and size, may or may not easily pass through the cell membrane.
SCENARIO… Hunters on the planet Nefarious have started to
complain to the Intergalactic Wildlife Foundation (IWF) that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of mutated Mountain Elkdeer since the IWF began gold mining in the high altitude environments.
Gold mining results in mercury leaching into the soil and water, greatly contaminating it. Mountain Elkdeer breed in high altitude environments and drink from the streams there. A close cousin, the Plains Elkdeer, breed in low altitude and drink from lake water, and show no mutations. The IWF suspects that the mercury in the soil is causing newborn Mountain Elkdeer to become mutated.
If you were a member IWF, how would you set up an experiment to test this?
WHAT WOULD YOUR PROCEDURE BE?
This experiment would have to take place in the field. 1. Make yearly observations of
both the Mountain Elkdeer and the Plains Elkdeer populations for 5-10 years. 2. Establish total population
numbers for each species per year. 3. Count the number of mutants
occurring in each population. 4. Compute the average of mutated
vs. normal elkdeer in each population.
WHAT CHARACTERISTIC, OTHER THAN LOCATION, IS DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE TWO POPULATIONS OF ELKDEER?
The Mountain Elkdeer are exposed to mercury tainted water.
The Plains Elkdeer are drinking clean water.
WHAT DID THE HUNTER’S OBSERVE ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN ELKDEER?
The hunter’s had observed a large amount of mutated Mountain Elkdeer in areas near gold mining operations.
AS A MEMBER OF THE IWF, WHAT WOULD YOUR HYPOTHESIS BE?
The hypothesis would be… IF Mountain Elkdeer
drink mercury tainted water, THEN they will become mutated.
WHAT WOULD YOUR INDEPENDENT VARIABLE BE?
The independent variable is something that the experimenter can manipulate. In this experiment,
the independent variable would be the mercury tainted water.
WHAT WOULD YOUR DEPENDENT VARIABLE BE?
The dependent variable is something the experimenter will measure! In this experiment,
the scientists are measuring the rates of mutation in Mountain Elkdeer.
WHAT CONTROLS WOULD YOU HAVE?
The Plains Elkdeer drinking regular water, will be the control of this experiment. They are not
receiving the independent variable (the mercury tainted water) and will establish how “normal” elkdeer are.
WHAT CONSTANTS WOULD YOU HAVE?
This experiment is taking place in the field, so constants would be difficult to establish. However, they may
be… The use of elkdeer for
both the experimental and control groups.
Both groups will be exposed to a water source.
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TYPE OF ELKDEER AND MUTATIONS?
The Mountain Elkdeer, because they breed at high altitude and thus are exposed to the mercury tainted water, are more prone to mutations than the Plains Elkdeer.
