Task

Title: Researching the Cell Cycle, Mitosis, and Meiosis

Task:

You will conduct structured research on one of the three following biology topics:

1. Cell Cycle and Life Cycle of Eukaryotic Cells

2. Mitosis – Process and Biological Importance

3. Meiosis – Process and Role in Genetic Variation

Each student or group will choose one topic, research it using school textbooks, provided materials, or phones (if allowed), and prepare a short written report or summary.

Instructions:

For your selected topic, answer the following research questions in your notebook or on a provided worksheet:

If your topic is Cell Cycle:

1. What is the cell cycle?

2. What are the main phases (G1, S, G2, M)?

3. What is the purpose of each phase?

4. What is the difference between interphase and mitotic phase?

5. Why is the cell cycle important?

If your topic is Mitosis:

1. What is mitosis and why does it happen?

2. What are the stages of mitosis?

3. What happens in each stage?

4. What types of cells divide by mitosis?

5. What is the biological significance of mitosis?

If your topic is Meiosis:

1. What is meiosis and what is its function?

2. How many stages are there in meiosis I and meiosis II?

3. What are the differences between meiosis I and II?

4. How is meiosis different from mitosis?

5. What is the role of meiosis in genetic variation?
