We have discussed the three jobs of the cell which are;
generate energy
making proteins and
creating more cells
Mitosis is the process by which new cells are formed from pre-existing cells in eukaryotes.
Use the Crash Course video on Mitosis to answer the following questions. Please answer the questions directly from the blog and highlight your final answer and skip lines if done on loose leaf. All questions must be answered by the end of class and submitted to jaharris@dc.seedschool.org for full credit. This assignment is one of the very first assignments of the 3rd quarter.
