LECTURE OBJECTIVES (Instructional goals)

1. List the purposes of cell division.
2. Describe a chromosome.
3. Recognize that through the process of mitosis two new daughter cells form with a complete set of chromosomes identical to the chromosome set of the original mother (parental) cell.
4. State the processes that occur during interphase.
5. Understand what is meant by cell cycle and be able to visualize where mitosis fits into the cell cycle.
6. Differentiate between karyokinesis and cytokinesis.
7. Name the four (4) stages of mitosis, and explain what is happening during each stage.
8. Define selected key terms.
